I'm really new to computers, and I've just recently had a really big interest in comps. I now really want to make new computer myself, but I need to know a few things first.
My big question, Whats better? Dual GPU's or One Gpu that's top of the line?
Lets say I get

I'm sure there are other factors, but I'm not aware of any. So if I could get any help I would greatly appreciate it!
