Hi community, just a couple of questions regarding my first build.

Current Specs:

- Gigabyte FXA-990 UD3 motherboard
- AMD FX 8350-8core CPU
- 8GB Kingston DDR3 RAM (2x 4gb sticks)
- Radeon HD7990 3GB GPU
- corsair 750W PSU

I want to take advantage of cross fire but I wanted some experienced opinions first. Will there be noticeable improvements as far as my gaming experience goes? Will my current PSU be able to output enough power to run two GPUs? Would an identical GPU (another HD7990) be ideal for crossfire? And lastly, I currently have an aerocool strike-x "air" tower case (maximum airflow) and a FrioOCK CPU fan for my cooling my rig, will
this keep everything cool enough or water cooling highly reccomended for this setup? Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
Honestly, unless you are gaming across 5 monitors you do not need another 7990 at all. A single 7990 will max any game easily at higher than 1080p resolutions.

Your 7990 should be 6gb not 3gb.
