Hello everyone!
I'm going to build a new system and I would like your help.
I'm going to build a system with the following components:
MB-MSI 970 Gaming
CPU-AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz BE
RAM-G.SKILL Sniper 16Gb 1866MHZ (2X8GB) DDR3
GPU-MSI R9 270 Gaming (from old build)

And I would like to know of a good PSU that later would let me Crossfire 2x R9 270

Thanks

Here is a list of psu requirements.
CF R9-270 looks like 700w.

And here is a list indicating cpu quality.
Look for tier 1 or 2.
Seasonic, Antec, XFX are good places to start.

FWIW for a new build with dual cards in mind and your budget, I would look at a stronger i5 intel cpu.
