Hey guys,
I've spent $1350 trying to get my AMD system to work in crossfire, had 3 computer shops look at it and had both R9290's RMA'd (Thanks ASUS) but still nothing.
Had enough of it and I want to switch to Intel/ nVidia. I figured that the best time to do so would be now with all the end of financial years sales going on.

I know how to put a computer together, but I don't know how to figure out what's compatible with what.

Was wondering if anyone would be able to make a system with me.
I'd like to use Gigabyte 970's at the least.
Budget is around $2000 (AUD)

Thanks!
