Hi, I've never built a computer before so please bear with me.
So I'm building a computer with an ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 motherboard, AMD FX-8350 8-Core 4.0GHz ( maybe the FX-6300 6-Core 3.5GHz), 4 Radeon R9 270s (starting with 1 I'm going to add more later), 8gb of ram (m/b supports upto 32gb), and an XFX ATX 550W psu( I know i'll need to upgrade this if I get 4 R9 270s).
This is all of it:
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard. link "http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A99FX_PRO_R20/specifications/"
Corsair Carbide Series 200R Compact ATX Case.
AMD FX-8350 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W.
Kingston Technology 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM Desktop Memory 8 (PC3 10600).
ASUS R9270.
XFX ATX 550W psu.
Whole thing will cost less than $800 (with only 1 r9 270).
My question is, is this a good setup?
I appreciate any advice, thanks!
