Evga 700b1 for Rx480 crossfire?

[ItsDysania]

Hi,
I currently have a gtx 970 and a 6700k, and want to upgrade. My budget is about $450, and I was looking at 2 RX 480s in Crossfire.
I Have an Evga 700 b1 (bronze efficiency) and was wondering if I could run the 2 cards with the psu with no problem.
This is the rx480 I was looking at
Thanks!

For me best solution is to buy another one 970 and you have sli with 970 , if your motherboard support SLI. And your psu will handle it but definetly i reccomend some gold certification models

My motherboard only supports Crossfire. So what do you think? Would the Bronze Psu hold up to the task?

PSU is lacking in quality , I wouldn't use it to run 2 cards.

just sell your 970 and buy gtx 1070 ,that graphic card single perform same or even better than 2x 480 , you dont need to change your power supply , and your pc will not use much power , thats definetly the best solution 😉
