Hey guys. I built my pc in august 2013 for 900$. It was my dream build. It runs everything fine. Its higher end but i have money to upgrade so should i? Here are my PC specs:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 Vishera
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7950
Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB
Power Supply: Rosewill Green Series 630W
Mother Board: BIOSTAR TA970
Hard Drive: Western Digital Black 1TB
Case: Sentey Extreme Division GS-6050 II Halcon

I want to water cool or maybe crossfire. But i have no clue if i should. Any help would be great. Thanks(:

its all fine but id get at least a 750w for crossfire or SLI otherwise your computer will either bottleneck or blow.. also check if the case has enough space

You could crossfire them on a decent 650w,

Some decent water coolers would most likely not be able to fit ect, so you'd need a new case, but there are some decent air coolers still.

How much money do you have?

Honestly, might not be incredibly orthodox but I'd scrap that GPU (If you have the budget of course). I'd be going for a higher end one such as the 770 or 780. Ultimately, it's down to you.

a 270x is pretty much the new version of the 7950.

Yeah, the benchmarks are fairly similar on both GPU's as it happens. A Crossfire would probably be the better option in this scenario.

Look at a CPU cooler and OC the 6300. Get a 212 Evo and a 4GHz OC should be easy. maybe a 4.2...
