New AMD Build I'm thinking of Building

[spacewaster]

Hi,

I'm currently thinking about building an all AMD (mostly) build which looks like this:-

Case - NZXT H440 Black/Red

CPU - FX-8370 (gonna OC it to atleast 4.6GHz) (currently have a FX-4100 @ 4.2GHz)

Motherboard - ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z (already using this part)

Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury Red 8GB (2x4Gb) (already have the same ram but in Black)

Graphics Card - ASUS RX 480 Strix 8GB (not sure whether or not to get 2 in crossfire) (currently have a ASUS R9 280X TOP 3GB @ 1100Mhz core and 1700Mhz on memory)

PSU - Corsair CX850M (not sure whether to keep this or upgrade to an RMi 850/1000)

Cooler - Corsair H110i GT

HDDs - 2x Seagate 500GB and 1x Maxtor 300GB (upgrading these to Seagate 3TB drives)

SSD - Samsung 850 EVO 120GB (for OS and drivers)

Peripherals

Monitor - Samsung U24E590D 4K 24" 3840X2160 PLS FREESYNC

Mouse - Corsair SABRE RGB GAMING MOUSE

Keyboard - Corsair Strafe RGB MX Silent

Headset - Corsair VOID Surround Headset

Also I just want some opinions on this build. Any parts that need changing, please feel free to give a suggestion.

P.S. Please don't ask me to change to Intel as I don't really want to spend more money on another Motherboard as the one I have cost me a fair amount.

How soon do you need to do this? Can you wait until Zen launches?

Don't get the 8370 for the OC you are aiming is not worth your money, get an 8320 or 8320e
Also your PSU is going to be fine even for a crossfire config with two rx 480s. You could upgrade if you want higher efficiency but since you've already got a psu it's kinda pointless

If I wait for Zen, I would have to buy another motherboard and ram and I'd rather not do that to be honest.

Another quick question, if I got 2 rx 480s would I be able to play games like GTA V, Dark Souls 3, BF4 and Assassins Creed Syndicate at 4k at high to max detail settings?

Well, two cards will certainly drive games at good framerates... I'm not sure how the cpu will cope with that

Ok thanks for the info and i'm sure it will cope just fine, I mean @1080p on Dark Souls 3 with my current FX-4100@4.2Ghz and my R9 280X @ 1100Mhz on the core and 1700Mhz on the memory, I get around 30fps at max settings, same with GTA V but setting set to high/v.high.
