Mmmm.280 i think is a bit expensive.the r9 270x cost me around 190euros.The game i play the most and i like the most is 3d person action games.Watch dogs,assasin's creed....So if i add another 270x and crossfire them ??No benefit.I have future plans for a 8core amd fx but in the near future.

You'd be better off saving cash and not getting the 8-core. Get a 6-core instead (much cheaper) and put the extra money toward the 280X or better GPU.

You'll be way better having a 280X than Crossfire 270X's.
 
I don't think i can return the gpu now. Why not a 8 core? Not all cores used by nowdays games? Is there a really big difference between 270x and 280x except the 1gb extra memory at the 280?

I would find out for sure if you can/can't return the GPU.

The 6-core chips are easier to overclock, cheaper, and put out less heat.
There are a slim few number of games that use 8 cores, but I can say with certainty that your 4100 is going to struggle with a high-end GPU.

You're looking at about a 20-25% jump in performance between those two in addition to the extra vram.
