crossfire r9 280x

[Finair14]

Hello
i am building a system with a msi r9 280x and a 4670k. In the future instead of buying a whole new system i would like to crossfire this card.will this be a good idea and will this give me great performance and give my system a new lease of life.

its fine amd have improved crossfire greatly and by the time you get the second 280x it will be even more improved

Well to be honest with you, unless you actually plan on doing the crossfire soon, like within the next 6 months, you will most likely be better off at the time of your upgrade just getting the next 'bang for buck' card instead of a second card for crossfire. But crossfire is a viable solution again, and like Timil pointed out it is improving all the time as AMD is addressing the problems.
