Building a PC from scratch (Really close to finish!)
Hay guy's some of you don't know me but I am from Halomaps.org and my username is sshers4 however I did had a username on this website which was sshers1 but I forgotten my password. :x
Okay now let's get back on topic so far I am so close to finishining building a PC.
Here are the components that I already included in the PC case.
Thermaltake Snow Edition Chaser A31 Case
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z Motherboard
Memory ram 8gb (But I will include 4 memories ram in the slot which will make 32 gb I'll do that in a future time)
AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core
DVD Drive
Now all I need is Hard Drive, graphics card and power supply then it's all finished :)
Here are the links.
Power supply GS 700

Asus HD 7870 AMD Radeon DirectCU II Graphics Card (I will buy 3 graphics cards in a future time :)

Hard Drive

I hope cry engine 3 will run smoothly so I can start producing Halo levels.

Yes it's cheap and good deal, what's you're graphics card and how many do you have?
Because I will be buying 3 of them in a feature time.

Wow thats cool, It REALLY makes me consider either upgrading my computer or just building a new one with the pieces you've listed above :3 .....

I think it would be better if you just bought one awesome card instead of 3 HD 7870.
Maybe:

Nice I will see if I can buy this but 7870 is coming now and even though I install 7870 will AMD R9 will work as well?

From what I can remember, you can't make a crossfire/sli with different models of Graphic Cards, you need identic models.

You can crossfire different versions of the 7xxx series and the R9 2xx series using crossfire x eg: 7950 and 7970, 7870 and 7850, R9 280 and R9 280x, R9 270x and 270x, etc (as long as there both the same first two digits ).
You can also crossfire the 7xxx series with the R9 2xx as they are just rebranded versions (except the 290 and 290x). eg: 7970 ghz edition with R9 280x. You have to be aware though that with different cards they'll run at the slowest speed between the two, eg: 7950 with a 7970, the 7970 will run at 7950 speeds. I'm using the XFX 7950 right now.

seems like a decent rig OP, but honestly i dont think you should bother with 3 gpus in the future. it is best, imo, to get one powerful card if you are that serious.
going crossfire (more than 1 GPU; it is called SLI for Nvidia cards) is not only highly unstable, leading to problems like games not using both cards efficiently etc etc (some games don't really have proper support for crossfire/SLI setups), and you would need a very big PSU for 3 GPUs. not only that, but you also need to consider the type of mobo you are using to see if you can actually fit 3 GPUs on there in the first place. that, and space in your case. mine just barely fits my GTX 650 Ti, lol.
regarding your current build, it seems good enough, although i am no expert on AMD GPUs and CPUs (i am more of a Nvidia/Intel kind of guy, AMD left a bad taste in my mouth). it should run cry engine games just fine.
