Do you plan on going Crossfire? if so the PSU needs beefing up a bit to around 750W.


What is this PC to be used for? do you need 16GB of RAM?
 
Hi Stulid.
I have no plans to go Crossfire.
I'm mainly looking to use the machine as a Flight Sim X / gaming rig and probably as my media server for Plex.

Better SSD and the RAM is a matched "pair"
 
That's great thanks Stulid.
Do you think that there is any worth going with the 7950 or would a 7870 be satisfactory for the extra saving?
