If you wanna keep additional head room, then go for Seasonic SS750JS - 750 W PSU at more or less same price.

Go with ASUS M5A97 EVO R2 @ 7k and you can save 4K. Spend that 4k for gfx card to get HD 7950.

HD 7950 has a slight upper edge in terms of performance compared to 7870XT, but also costs approx 4K more. If you can afford then go for HD7950 VaporX for 22K approx.

Go with ASUS M5A97 EVO R2 @ 7k and you can save 4K. Spend that 4k for gfx card to get HD 7950.

He is asking for Xfire, so, suggested him M5A99FX R2.0 for better VRM.

You mean 2 GTX 660 Ti in Xfire..??

I don't think its worth it. You 'll be wasting money. You can play most of your games in high resolutions with 7870XT / 7950 Vapor-X.

I think you should leave the concept of Xfire for now, and if you have budget then go for 7970 straight away.

Buddy, currently HD 7950 is ahead of GTX 660 Ti in most cases after the 13.XX series driver launch. And the standard HD 7950 is very rare to find as the most of the cards retailing here are 7950 with Boost BIOS. It has clock frequency of 950 MHz compared to the 850 MHz of the standard version.

Green signal from my side too. Just one suggestion, you can also go for MSI 990FX-GD65 Motherboard at 9.2K and with the saved money, opt for a good CPU Cooler like Hyper 212 Evo.

HD 7850 for 8.2k. Surely it must be the HD 7770. And CX430 V2 @ 1.7k.

That's too good to be true. 7850 should be around 13k and cx430v2 between 2500 and 2700.

Crossfire is only possible with ATI/AMD Radeon GPU's & the term for multi GPU with NVIDIA is called "SLI - Scalable Link Interface"
