Two of those shouldn't be a problem fit. The two x16(1 in x16mode, one in x4mode) slots you'd used are double spaced, as are the cards themselves. http://sapphirenitro.sapphiretech.com/en/470-4.html" rel="nofollow - http://sapphirenitro.sapphiretech.com/en/470-4.html They'll run in CF Bridgeless Mode according to their specs. You'll need a minimum 600w PSI that is Crossfire Certified: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm" rel="nofollow - http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm Last. CCC will need installed to configure. |

" rel="nofollow - Thanks for the answer, I know that my spec are budget specs, but that what I can afford now, I should get the PSU 600w before I bought it. Any way will it be any good doing cross fire with the CPU I have? BR

If that's your budget go for it. Been there myself once or a dozen times  Why, for the price and power requirements CF two of those though. For the price of one GTX 1060 or 1070 you can have nearly(1060) or greater(1070) performance _and_ req a less than 600w PSU. 1060=450w , 1070=500w. Mind you, that 450 or 500 PSU will need to be a decent one and not a 500w one that comes pre installed in a $49 case purchase ok. http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2547-amd-rx-470-crossfire-benchmark-vs-rx-480-and-1070 |

My Cube Gaming PC case doesn't come with the PSU so I purchase FSP Hydro 500W, the shop recommend the brand, I wanted to go for cheaper one but he advised me not to.
I'am happy with the budget setup, playing, Far Cry primal, Biohazard 7, Deathwing, On 1080p / ultra and never goes down below 50. It always on 50-60. Playable for me.

Wow! That was great advice he offered you. I trust you've become a regular buyer there? You should. e-tailers can't and do not offer that kind of advice, only maybe what makes themselves the greater profit. This shop Owner is watching out for you! |

I agree with Wardog 100% here, whenever I find a store that gives good advice I stick with them. I don't usually need the advice but knowing they are giving good advice makes me feel more confident in my purchases as well as in their competence should I have any issues. I will even buy from them if their prices are a little higher because this extra level of service is always worth it, it means they put the customer first. Great stuff  -------------

" rel="nofollow - Actually not the shop owner, the technician guy who works in the shop recomends me (Buy him a cup of coffee) he insisted. In Jakarta every PC shop has tecnition to assamble new PC. But I did not, I wanted to learn assamble my self. My PC spec are: X4 880K Asrock A88M-G/3.1 Team Dark 2x4GB 2133hz, (He says that the CPU only accept up to 2133) Deepcool Mailstorm 240T Kingstone SSD 120GB Toshiba 1TB HHD FSP Hydro 500w Deepcool TF120 X2 for fan cassing (Controable fan) MATX Cube Gaming LUXE So can the PSU support the crossfire? |

While FSP PSUs are a great choice I feel it's a tad underpowered for RX 470 Nitro+'s in CrossFire. The chart I linked above I've gone by for years and it's never let me down. It's an easier reference that scouring Google results. And it's all one one page too. |
