It's an odd setup with the Xeon and dual 270x...I assume these are parts you already own and have scrapped together bit by bit? the reason I ask is because, if you plan to build this from scratch there are better ways. So please provide some background.

It will play most games though as such.

Have you bought these components already?

There's nothing wrong with the Xeon, but I wouldn't go with an R9 270X in Crossfire when you probably could have bought a GTX 970 for the same price.

Hello yes i already have one 270x or otherwise I would have gone with a 970.

I'd sell the 270X and get a GTX 970, unless that's out of budget.

Actually I tried to sell it but I couldn't. Is Cfx 270xs that bad?

 

[bicycle_repair_man]

It's not bad, it's just not ideal. How about a single R9 280?

Your motherboard and PSU will handle Crossfire 270X just fine, but adding a second GPU doesn't mean twice the performance and twice the VRAM. The end result (i.e. frame rate) is also entirely dependent on how well optimised a particular game is for Crossfire.

As far as I know this will beat a r9 290 and yes I am aware that I'd be limited to 2 gb
