I am building a PC. I have a monster power supply at 700 watts. I would like to get an amd card for gaming. I play minecraft. I also want it to be crossfire. I want to do crossfire. My budget for 2 video cards is about $120 but I can raise it a little. Which card should i get. I play minecraft and also do video editing. I also want to play online games. I am also interested in topping the GT 640. Which card should I get?

if you already own the XION and it's been working fine, then you should be ok. most cards in this price range aren't going to stress it much anyways (a 7790 is only an 85W card, for example)

but if you're shopping for new or have only had the XION for a week, do try to exchange it for something more reliable. S or C are good, and i've always liked Antec.

I'm a pretty big fan of the 270x. If you have the money I would shoot for that. But for something a little cheaper and almost as good. The 7870 will fit your needs nicely. The 7770 isn't a bad choice, either. Just don't expect AMAZING things from it. The 7770 will outperform a GT640, though.

what is your "monster" PSU brand..?

if it's generic, actually it worse than any real 400w good psu..:)

why do you want to go with crossfire..?
heat, wattage usage, and crossfire setting is trouble some..and not all games support multicard configuration..
it's much better to take one stronger card rather than take 2 (or more) weaker card ..

and you'll never be good with $120 for 2(two) cards..:)

this is the best card that i can find for your budget range..
xfx 7850 for $100
