(SPECS:
-MSI R9 270X 2GB VRAM
-AMD FX 6300 @ 3.5 GHz
-MSI 970A-G43 Mobo
-8GB RAM
-Windows 8.1)

I have an R9 270X, and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to get a second for Crossfire. I'm planning on OCing the CPU to about 4.4 GHz once I get a decent cooler, but I'm not sure what effect that would have on Crossfire, if any. Does anyone have experience with this type of build? Any suggestions?

Yes, of course you'll see an improvement, crossfire will give up to around 70% improvement for non cpu intensive games, otherwise your cpu may hold you back a bit on a couple of games, but Overclocking will help your cpu. I had 2 r9 280s and they performed much better than my current r9 290. A decent 700w psu will be fine.

A cross fire of r9 270x with an amd processor is too much power consuming.
I assume u have atleast bronze rated 700 W power supply, I would never think of a crossfire with an amd processor.

my suggestion is to go for a new GPU may be GTX970.
