About this crossfire deal.

[tuni500]

I currently own a Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 2GB DDR5, and planning to get a 290x, is there a way for me to use them together or 5870 is trash?

You can only crossfire a 290x with a 290x or a 290.

Get 2 x 4gb 1866 ram instead

Don't buy an old cpu - get an i5 4670k

Don't buy an old mother board. Get an ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 to go with the i5 4670k

The HX1050 is a good psu. But for one 290X all you'll need is a a 650W psu. The 1050 will power 2 x 290x's.
