Crossfire, Yes or No?

Yes = The XFX I recommended to you in your previous post.

No = The SeaSonic Frag recommended or the Capstone I recommended to you in your previous post.

Do not try to save money by getting a unit with a 3 year warranty and garbage build quality.

Yeah just keep checking Newegg and Tiger Direct's emails after signing up for them, and make sure you sign up for Newegg's email subscriber PROMO deals, they're fantastic, esp on the holidays. The Seasonic 550 watt gold I linked to for $60 is a great deal, and that's all you need for a 280x.

I say keep checking because you already missed that deal on the one I mentioned in the other thread, that's what happens when you pass on deals like that. Now you know good PSUs and good deals and how much power you need though, so hopefully that won't happen again.

The best Seasonic 550w deal I see right now is this non modular gold for $80. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151136

On modular I wouldn't be too concerned about getting one that's 100% modular. A lot of them are now made semi modular, which makes the most sense I think. That means the cables required are permanently attached, and the rest are modular. It also saves cost of construction and they're often cheaper to buy.
