Build Review - Mid Level

[TopOfTheWorld]

I've specced this system so far and am not looking to spend much more (800 max).

Looking to start PC gaming rather than buying a new gen console and perhaps mine a little

Case, HDD, monitor and peripherals are already sorted.

If in the future I wanted to crossfire with another 280x would it be worth it or would I get a cpu bottle neck?

also

Would the chosen PSU support this AMD system and crossfired 280x?

Thanks

Thanks, I'm leaning towards the i5 now. Will have to do some reading on the recommended products.

If i wanted to do a micro atx system running just one 280x with an i5 4670k what psu and micro atx board would you guys recommend?

 

[TopOfTheWorld]

Thanks Fulax

Don't have case but I didn't include it in the spec since case choice is more personal choice

 

[TopOfTheWorld]

Yeah, thought it might work out a bit cheaper but I'll just go for a midi case, thanks for the help!
