I'm thinking of upgrading my computer by installing a new graphics card, however, I don't know whether i should buy another graphics card, same model and everything so i can run two graphic cards at the same time or buying a new Sapphire R9 290 5gb DDR5 grahpics card. By the way, if I choose either of the options could you please just tell me if any of the hardware I may purchase may be exceeding my PSU's extent/CPU, etc, etc, etc.

Specs:
Case: NZXT S340
CPU: AMD FX 6300
RAM: 2x4gb Corsair
MotherBoard: Asrock Pro 3 R2.0
HDD: Seagate 1TB
GPU: MSI R9 270x 2gb
PSU: Corsair CX600M

Thanks in Advance,
John

I would suggest selling the 270x and buying a single 290 because a single card will run with any game that does not have crossfire support and you will have 4gb of usable vram, and your psu will be just fine running it but would not run 270x crossfire.
