hi guys am just wondering if i will need a PSU upgrade when i go to crossfire my r9 290x cards when i buy a second card. the card is the MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. And my PSU is the OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply. So my question is when i buy the second card can i crossfire or will i need a PSU upgrade.

Yes. The 290x id power hungry. I would suggest atleast a high quality 850w PSU, bigger if you are overclocking.

1000W I posted above would be sufficient.
