I am looking to build my first pc and I was wondering would i be better off with a GTX 1070 (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/35763/asus-rog-geforce-gtx-1070-strix-gaming-8gb-oc) or should i go with 2 RX 570 (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/38948/asus-rog-radeon-rx-570-strix-gaming-4gb) based on the specs i should get more performance out of the 2 AMD cards but i don't know whether that will actually happen.

I have an 850w power supply ready so i am pretty sure i will be able to run both setups with ease. I am really just looking to see whether it is worth paying $70 to $80 more for 2 cards and an sli bridge or whether I should just stick with the 1070, also i was wondering whether sli comes with any problems or large hassles that negate it benefits in my situation.

(BTW i already checked my motherboard compatibility and it supports crossfire.)

I think that majority of people will tell you that 1 strong card is better than 2 weaker.
Sli/Crossfire are not getting support in games they deserve, and you can get various problems and not any major boost compared to 1 concrete GPU.
My advice is to buy 1 but good.
