Thinking about swapping out my nVid 660. I've been using it for crypto mining and the 300 H/s makes me sad.

1. Can I put 2x RX 580s in? It seems that my MB has 2x PCI 3.0 express slots but is the 700W PSU ok - I can't find a solid answer on Google.

2. In terms of the 580 I'm looking here or as a backup here (not in the UK atm) is one brand better than another there is XFX, Gigabyte and asus ...

3. Should I be considering anything else its been a while since I've actually opened my PC...(but loving getting back into this stuff) just get the AMD drivers ready, uninstall the nvidia drivers, shut down, swap cards, boots up and install drivers right?
 
you should be able to leave nvidia drivers installed until you swap the card and check its all working. but yep just swap the card, boot up, probably get BIOS message, then install new drivers.
