Hey guys need some help , I don't know much about computers anymore .
I need to upgrade my rig for bf4, and hopefully run 1080 in high to ultra settings
Current setup
Amd 1055t 6 core overclocked to 3.6
8g DDR 3
Crappy hard drive
5870 video card
Power supply I think is rated 850w
I'm just wondering if i should crossfire my card since the 5870 used is around $100 on craigslist
Or should I just buy a new card?. My budget is around $200.
Thanks in advance

New card is generally always better than crossfire.
For $200 you can get some pretty decent deals.

You probably won't get ultra with a current gen $200 card.
I would say get a Radeon 7870 and run it in High or so. When Mantle comes out, you'll get a performance increase.

Replace it with an SSD 
I just got a UASP enclosure for USB 3.0 testing on motherboards (about $20).. With an SSD it runs at 440-450 MB/s read and write 
Only works in UASP mode in Windows 8, otherwise it's a standard USB 3.0 drive, running at 250 MB/s or so

Still testing PSU. Will do cable management + hide the HDD/SDD and order some LED lights soon!
Also looking into getting H100 in the future to see overclocking potential.  | |

System I built for a friend.. He was 100% a console gamer until now  
Core i7 4770K
Gigabyte Z87M-D3H
MSI GeForce 780 GAMER
16GB Crucial DDR3 1600
Intel 520 240GB (Windows, apps)
Intel DC-S3700 800GB (Steam)
Corsair H60
Corsair CX600M
Cooler Master Silencio 352
Asus Xonar Phoebus Solo (added later)
And yeah I didn't spend much time cabling. Nobody will see it though, and there is sufficient airflow from the front.

one thing I don't like about this case is I can't remove the SSD easily.

IIRC the M500 doesn't hit full speed until you get to 512GB

Looking to a 2nd monitior.
Any good suggestions?
Doesn't need to be big or super expensive (around 19 to 22inch is good enough). Mostly for when I am programming or need to have 2 doc open at the same time. Currently using a 24inch right now. Thinking of getting a Dell P1914S since I can turn it vertical.

Before upgrading to a better card, should consider if the current psu can handle it
