Hi friends,

I am actually confused with my psu for rig. Below is my configuration
CPU - fx 6300(evo tx3)
GPU - msi r9 270x
HDD - seagate 2tb
RAM - corssair vengeance 8gb(1600)
MoBo - msi 970a g43
psu - corssair vs 550w

this is my current rig, along with I'm only having two cabinet fans, each 120mm(90cfm). I'm about. to get another r9 270x from my friend and I very much eager to set up a crossfire between the two. I'm just confused whether my psu would be able handle the load because I've just set up this rig a couple of months back and I'm in no condition of upgrading my psu now.
please help!

would running a crossfire of these cards give me a worthy performance bump. I hope it'll not be hectic as people make crossfire sound like, I don't have any experience in crossfire at all. I've always used single gpus my whole life.
also should I sell these two and get a 280x, will that be sufficient for psu
