yes hello, first off I'm building an amd rig, I have around $1,800 invested it as of now, I plan on doing an eyefinity setup with crossfire, might bezel might not. My question and concern is, is it recommended to first boot your rig with 1 graphics card installed or 2 in crossfire? does this effect anything? like, can I just install all my parts, get drivers all that jazz and then maybe later save up for that same card and then throw it in there and crossfire it when I'm able to after I have already installed the first card?

Thank you.

If you get both GPUs at once then start 'er up once with one first. Then install the other one after. If you start with one then you can save up for the same card later and install it then. Also if you wait before you buy the second one the price will likely decrease. Cheers! :)
