AMD a10 7850k (KAVERI) with sapphire HD 7970 Dual X Crossfired with MSI r9 280x
Hi there guys, I would like to ask if anybody has this build. AMD a10 7850k with Sapphire HD 7970 dual X crossfired with MSI r9 280x.
I have this build right now but I don`t have r9 280x yet and I`m planning to crossfire my system in the near future. Any advice from you will be highly appreciated. :) 

But I think my 650W PSU will not handle this crossfire set up.

System:
AMD A10 7850k (KAVERI) OC`d (4.3 ghz)
Sapphire HD 7970 Dual X OC`d (1100/1500)
AMD R9 2400, 8 Gig of RAM
MSI A88x-G45 Motherboard
650W bronze PSU (Keian)

haha, do you know who i am? iamlegend and I can OC PSU`s. lol
I plan to buy a higher capacity CPU man, the 750W and will try to OC the 7970 and R9 280x, but I don`t have an R9 280x at this present.

U cant oc psus lol. They will just burn if they dont have the proper protection.

That is my 2nd concern man. I think I should OC my PSU to 750W, is that even possible? lol. I think I will purchase a new PSU and I will eat the 620W. Man this is a heck of an electricity bill.

Also concerned about your psu,
Those card can use 200-250w ea.

That is also 1 of my main consideration, if the A10 can handle 2 GPU`s.
Maybe I shall give a try. :)

The only problem i see is the gigantic bottleneck that the A10 will cause. But, other than that, just make sure your PSU is powerful enough.
