my system

Cpu: fx-6300
cpu cooler: Hyper 212 evo
motherboard: asrock 880 gm-le fx
psu: corsair cx 430 80+ certified
Hdd: WD Green 2TB 7600 rpm sata 3
ram: 8gb patriot signature 1600 mhz
Gpu:sapphire HD 7770 GHZ 1 GB DDR5

My question is should i buy a second 7770 ghz and crossfire or buy a r7 260x. Also would my psu support this?

In order to run the 7770 Crossfire you'll need a better PSU with higher wattage but personally I think that the 260X isn't a huge upgrade over what you have , look at the r7 265 , its a very underlooked card and very solid or the 270 which sells now for 20 bucks more than the 260X but is light years ahead furthermore overclocked to 270x levels easily .

The 7870 here is the 270

The performance difference between them is huge and for just 20 bucks ( supported by your PSU , although you'll need to upgrade it at later time ) there's no reason not to consider it. TDP : 138W

Xfired 7770 isn't really ideal , Crossfiring is better for higher end cards and always a single strong card is better than two weak ones Xfired.
