So, I've asked a few questions on this forum in the past few days regarding this new pc build I'm going to be building in a few days/weeks. Here's what I've got so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YtVMpb
Minus the 1070 reference card (I've been looking at this one) *http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6173-KR*
And I've been debating whether or not this is the best card for my budget, and most importantly for performance. I have seen alot of stuff about the new Amd 480x, and for such a good price I was wondering if it would be worth it to wait to run 2 of them in crossfire for extra performance..? I haven't been able to find many benchmarks for the 2x 480x's vs. a 1070. And I'm aware that the big hype around these new cards is the capability in VR, which as of now, I'm not a big fan of and I don't feel like I'll be getting into VR any time soon. I want this build to be able to run new Dx12 games at a solid 80+ frames at Very high-Ultra settings, preferably on a 1440p monitor. So, is it worth the wait for the 480x in crossfire, and waiting for non-reference/after market 480x's to come out? I should also note, I'm currently running on 3 1080p monitors, but I only use the center one for gaming..I plan on buying a single 1440p monitor and getting rid of this current triple monitor setup when I build this new pc.
