A little over budget, but with XFire support, and it's OC capable with a nice lil cooler on there.

Would that PSU be enough to power XFire 380's?

Also, thanks to both of you for going with Skylake. I didn't think I'd be able to go Skylake without adding another 100 to my budget lol.

In my build, yes you could but to be honest you'd be better off getting one better card than crossfiring two weaker cards.

Yeah, I figured going with a 390/970 would be better than going with a second 380 when its time to upgrade. Thanks guys.

If you don't plan on Crossfiring, then getting a 970 later down the line will enable you to SLI that on the 750w PSU that I selected. If you plan on getting a 390 though, I would only get a 650w or an 850w if you plan on Crossfiring it.

Alright. From what I understand the 390 and 970 are very close in terms of performance. Obviously, the NVidia exclusives would be nice so that's an incentive to go with the 970. But at the same time, the 390 is slightly cheaper and I'm fully aware there's nothing wrong with AMD's video cards.

I'm only gaming on 1080p right now, so there isn't really any point in SLI/Crossfiring. Obviously that's just a future thought and there might be a better option by the time that comes.

Everything you have stated is true, thank you for actually being informed unlike many people on here lol. imo, a 970 is the better choice. They are both neck-to-neck in terms of performance, and from having both cards myself, I could barely tell a difference. There is nothing wrong with AMD cards, but the AMD drivers can be a bit shitty and I had constant crashes on GTA with my 390. You would be able to SLI 970's on 750w, you could possibly do it on 650w but I wouldn't recommend it.

OP wouldn't be able to upgrade to a 970 and run them in SLI. Also, not sure why you need to get a stronger card than a 380 to run multiple GPUs, but it's fine to run multiple 970s instead of getting something higher end, like a Fury? Neither motherboards suggested support SLI so a motherboard upgrade would be required. 620W is more than enough for SLI 970s, or XFire 380's so yes, any decent 650W unit is going to be more than enough for 2 x 380s, or 2 x 970s. XFire 380s will out-perform a single 970/390 and it would be cheaper to add a 2nd 380, than upgrade GPU, which is why it's nice to have the option.

The 390 is a great card ad the driver argument is so old. AMD's drivers have been far better lately than in past years, and I had several issues with my 970 over the space of a few months, to the point where I stopped using my main rig for a good while because of it. The 390 will also scale better in XFire than a 970, for the most part, but the difference is minimal. Get whichever has the features you'll use, and that you'd prefer. You will need a decent quality 850W unit at least for 2 x 390s though, keep that in mind. 980Ti, Fury X, and Fury will all need a good 850W unit for 2-way XFire/SLI as well.
