I just bought a 2nd HDD for my system and now I am getting a major FPS loss. it seems fine when im surfing the web just not when i play games. I used to run bf3 on medium settings 1080p at 50+ fps and now all i can get is 20 fps. and i used to run wow at 50 fps 1080p and now it runs at 10 fps. what do u think you can attribute this fps loss too??

Manufacturer: Me
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1045T
Motherboard Asus M5A97 2.0 EVO
Ram: 8gb 1866
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7700 1GB DDR5
Monitor 24in LED Toshiba + 20in LED HP
onbaord Sound Card 5.2 Surround Sound speakers
Keyboard: Logitech G105
Mouse: Gigabyte
Wheel: Logitech Driving Force GT
webcam: logitech 510 720p
PSU: 750w Apevia

my two HDDs
-western digital blue 500 GB FTFS w/windows 7 home premium x64 (partitioned into two drives. one being 125 GB and the other 470 GB, with win7 being on the 125 GB partition.
-western digital blue 1TB NTFS (its a backup drive where i want to keep my games)

I am also wanting to add another Asus 7770 2GB grafix card to crossfire with my current card. so should i need a bigger PSU ?

I was thinking bout getting this PSU rite now if my 2nd hdd needs it.

check CCC overdrive in clock controls..
as long as your PSU has 2 PCI-e connectors you can crossfire hd7770
