I am thinking of buying another 270x to enable me to crossfire with the one I ready have. Just want to know if my CPU would not bottleneck it. It would be the MSI 270X, i already have one of them installed and games play great.

Bottlenecking totally depends on the scenario, I have an FX 6300 @ 4.5GHz and 2 R9 270's (overclocked to R9 270X reference speeds) in Crossfire and literally the only game I have experienced CPU bottlenecking in is Assetto Corsa which hasn't been fully optimised yet.

Ok, well I also have a corsair 750W PSU, will that be enough for 2 cards?

Yeah, should be :) As long as you have a good quality 750w PSU.
