Do I need to upgrade PSU?

[NunYaBusiness]

MSi A88XM Gaming Motherboard
AMD A10 7850k Black Edition CPU
16GB RAM 2133Mhz
1TB SS-Hybrid Drive
MSi R9 285 2GB GDDR5 Gaming Video Card
Corsair CX750 80 Plus Bronze 750w PSU.

Basically I'd like to add a second "MSi R9 285 2GB GDDR5 Gaming Video Card" in crossfire but will my PSU be OK?

Help/Advise needed.

Thanks

Should be perfectly fine

CX series are (ovepriced) budget performers, if you want to add another 285 you'll need a quality 750 PSU. You'll bottleneck those two GPUs with your current cpu thought.

I wouldn't xfire any cards on a CX model psu

Hmm OK but untill AMD release a new improved line of FM2+ CPU's it's the best CPU available without changing my board.

My friend is running the same CPU on a R9 290X and there are no signs of bottlenecking, so is running dual R9 285 in crossfire gonna out perform a 290X ? and even if it is gonna bottleneck the A10 7850k will I still see an improvement over just running the one R9 285?

I hope so as I'm on a budget ..

What PSU would anyone recommend on a budget if I come into problems with my current then? (hopefully I won't but if I do lol)

evga B2 750W

evga B2 750W

Costs less than what I paid for my current PSU and has same power and 80+ Bronze rating. I was expecting a silver/gold rating one. Hopefully I won't need an upgrade anyway but I'll keep that one in mind if I do - though I do question if it is an upgrade at all and my previous PSU was a EVGA 80+ 550w and it died after a few days 🙁 that's why I went for the Corsair and it's been fine I just hope it's gonna handle the extra Video Card.

You can't really go by price alone. The Corsair CX series should be half the price they are. The EVGA B2 series is way way way better than any CX.
