Screen size is irrelevant. 1080p @24" is same as 1080p @40".
I personally would not add a second gpu on that particular psu, even if the wattage is sufficient. The RM 750/850 are crappy designs, have really bad thermal properties, seriously bad secondary capacitors, and have a strong tendency to fail utterly when pushed close to max output, which is right where a second gpu would put it.

That makes no difference :') But crossfiring it might help on war thunder and on bf4 as it supports crossfire quite well, you'd get over 100fps maybe

You already have the best 'cpu' you can get for that socket type motherboard, so changing that would mean changing motherboards. For better performance in games, you'd be best served by getting a quality psu, XFX, Seasonic, Antec HCG, Corsair HX, EVGA G2, and another Toxic card in crossfire. Even though you are running an APU, it is the single most powerul one possible, so 'bottle necking' shouldnt be an issue unless you get the really powerful cards like a 290 or gtx780, especially not on a single 1080p monitor.

An XFX or Seasonic power supply would definitely work. Another 280X would also run nice on your 40'' TV.
