I have an AMD A8-6600k. I'm wondering what card I should buy to crossfire with the apu, and would I need a crossfire bridge with the card to install it? I'd prefer to keep the prices as low as possible. I was looking at the box and it says it's compatible with a 6570, so I was looking into the XFX 2gb version of that. What I want to do is be able to run games like skyrim and dark souls, which I currently cannot do.

Well for one thing, an APU is a combination of graphics and processor on the CPU. Crossfire is used to bridge two PCIe cards. When it says compatible with a 6570, i assume it means that it can run both the APU and GPU side by side instead of defaulting all the data to the GPU as most CPU's do.
