I am thinking of buying another 270x to enable me to crossfire with the one I ready have. Just want to know if my CPU would not bottleneck it. It would be the MSI 270X, i already have one of them installed and games play great.

Operating System
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU
AMD A10-7850K 3.7Ghz
Kaveri 28nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1065MHz (10-14-14-39)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. G1.Sniper A88X-CF (P0)

Bottlenecking totally depends on the scenario, I have an FX 6300 @ 4.5GHz and 2 R9 270's (overclocked to R9 270X reference speeds) in Crossfire and literally the only game I have experienced CPU bottlenecking in is Assetto Corsa which hasn't been fully optimised yet.

Ok, well I also have a corsair 750W PSU, will that be enough for 2 cards?

Yeah, should be :)  As long as you have a good quality 750w PSU.
