I'll keep it short and sweet
I have two of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
and one of these http://www.pcrush.com/product/Desktop-Computers/635863/...
EDIT: I originally had a 7350 low profile as an upgrade and the 7750 is the new one
The power supply says it outputs 180W on the output while the cards wants 400W
My goal is to make my system work well for the cards and i don't really have any idea on how to proceed, any help would be appreciated. I'm not averse to a new pc build, and any advice on a build for that would be appreciated.
EDIT: The Sapphire is demanding 55w for Max Power, and 400w for PSU.

the 7350 was a card i got a while ago, sorry if that wasn't clear. I ordered one 7750 and i ended up getting two in the mail so i would like to run them crossfire. As far as being crossfire ready the box says
"Operation of AMD Crossfire technology in dual mode requires a second Sapphire (same card) and an AMD Crossfire Ready motherboard."
On the back of the box it says the same thing except for AMD CrossfireX. Is that not true or am I misinterpreting it?

Downside is the system motherboard only has one PCI-E slot, sorry, mate, Crossfire is a no-go.
It'll probably run the HD7750, though, the i3 540 draws about 80W at max load and the 7750 55-60, so you're just about in on the power side.
One issue you might find is the card runs hot, keep an eye on its temperature with GPUZ for a few days.

How much RAM did you have? This is a $500 build using your current case, harddrive, and disc drive. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2w7p2

Why cant it do crossfire? Everything i've read about the card says it can. What am I misreading? The back of the box its in even says its ready for that. Not trying to be disagreeable just confused. http://puu.sh/6bjzX.jpg

This is your HD 7750 right?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It has no Crossfire connectors, and in the specifications tab it says no Crossfire support.
Unless that's not your card.

Hold on, I ordered that from amazon (http://puu.sh/6bk0r.png) and recieved these (http://puu.sh/6bk8d.jpg), BUT if you look up the SKU number you get http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/produc...
It seems amazon sent me a better product by mistake?

I see that, but regardless it seems i have the compatible part, and that is what i ordered though it seems i received a different product which would explain why i posted the incorrect link.
So then misunderstanding aside, lets get back to the original question about a newer build. I'd like to make it compatible, and I waas looking at your build on the PCparts ewok, though i'm not quite sure what i'm looking at in terms of specs on the motherboard and video card. How would i know what motherboard works for the card? I couldn't find any specific way of telling what kind of motherboard is acceptable.
I'm just trying to understand what i'm buying before i do, I don't know much about PC construction.

Then you can go with ewok93's pcpartpicker build, except with;
A newer 990FX chipset board that supports Crossfire
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
No graphics card (because you will be using your 7750s)
And maybe a more well known brand of Crossfire ready PSU

So like this? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KfAS
Would i need the new RAM since i have 6gb in my pc already?
Also would be looking for a 1-2tb drive, and i was thinking about a hybrid. Any recommendations for that?

Best solution
You can use the 6gb of DDR3-1066 but you will get more performance out of 1600Mhz sticks.
Here's a hybrid drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Also you will need a new copy of Windows with a new motherboard. You cannot transfer your OEM copy to a new board.
