I have three questions
1.I have one MSI r9 270x 2gb and one sapphire r9 270x 4gb
Can I crossfire these two cards?
2.what is the best PSU for this crossfire?
Cpu-fx8350
Mobo-m5a99fx pro r2
Ram-corsair vengeance 8 GB 1600 ddr3
3.does this ram support fx processors? Because I heard that it is compatible only with i3,i5,i7 and phenom processors.
 
Solution
1. crossfire is fine with those cards, it is controlled by AMD not the brands.
2. get a better cpu, your going to be bottlenecked.
the psu: http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine do that and you can get a close estimate. I would probably go with a 850w http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-220-G2-0850-XR/dp/B00IKDETOC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432816781&sr=8-3 remember each one requires 2x 6pin connector, and remember the benefit and downsides of crossfire
3. ram supports fx processors.
