Upgrade to 2 7870 ghz or ssd?

[Drjead]

I recently upgraded my rig and was wondering should i just go ahead and add another 7870 on to the build or get an ssd.

My build

CPU: i5 4690K
GPU: 7870,
CASE: H440,
PSU: CX 600M,
HDD: WD 1 TB,
MOBO: Msi Z97 pc mate,
RAM: Blue Zeus 8gb,

if you want to game, i think the gpu crossfire is better than the ssd. An ssd upgrade dont change anything in terms of frames!!

Crossfire is definitely better.

If you're gaming at 1080p then the HD 7870 is likely holding up very well. I'd add the SSD now and then add a new single GPU down the road as funds permit.

I recommend you getting crossfire if you want an FPS increase.
An SSD is only good if you want to load software or boot up windows faster. Which means it will not give you any extra fps.
How ever, personally I would recommend getting a GTX 970. It's all up to you though, I'm just giving advice.

For gaming, the 7870 cf is the obviously better. For general usage, the ssd will make the system more responsive.

add an SSD now why?

coz by JUN the new AMD cards will be annouced and u should have some money by than sell your single card get a new single GPU

but if u want instant results now go with the Cross fire if u game a lot

SLOOOOW DOWN people.

Crossfire will yield better performance, BUT I would NOT recommend it for you for 2 reasons.
1. Your PSU will not be good enough.
2. Your motherboards second PCI-e slot will only be running at x4 speeds. Which will actually cause a lot of issues and probably cause microstutter.
