Hi i will soon to be buying two of the graphics cards for X-fire as i really am an AMD fanboy lol.

but is this the best option,

my Current specs are

CPU/APU: AMD A10-7850K
8 GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX 2133Mhz
Corsair VS550W PSU
Asus A88X-Plus

Now will my PSU be able to support crossfire? im hoping SO as these two cards are an offer i can't refuse 300 for both, NEW

i will try to run them both in crossfire for a few months or just use one single card and wait until Christmas to buy a new PSU as My PC is fairly new about 6 months old and i don't want to waste a PSU like that if you understand where i'm coming from?

i think i might get another corsair PSU or a thermaltake as im still unsure about EVGA products even their graphics cards and Corsair has been really reliable for me with other parts to. The Corsair is a 650W as the thermaltake is 750w

EVGA G2 series PSU are excellent and good/better than most Corsairs series. Only good Corsair series are AX, AXI, HX and HXi. The rest of Corsair series are mediocre.
You would need a 750W psu as stated.

Your cpu would bottleneck the R9 270X crossfire so don't expect the same performance as some benchmarks on the internet.
