re: Need Help Building a PC - Gaming Edition

well you don't need to for 1080 at 60fps except for maybe crysis 3. Usually you can just lower a couple of settings that aren't very noticeable and it will be fine if it does come to that.

Crossfire is AMD, SLI is nvidia. For one it is a more expensive setup. If you were to do it down the road I would recommend beefing up a few parts now to make it easier later.

Crossfire has a lot of performance issues I have read about which stopped me from recently doing it myself. SLI is much more dependable so if it is something you really wanted to do I would go nvidia. However with single gpu's amd is a better deal right now in your price range. Like I said, I wouldn't worry about it right now, it is just something you want to plan for if you plan on doing it.

Also, I am by no means the most experienced and knowledgeable person here so make sure you take in everyones input. I think everyone comes from a different perspective too which helps and makes it more confusing.
