really describes my motherboard I'm also wondering if I can have 2 crossfire of the same card with only 700watt psu.
I want to run 2 of these cards at the same time but I dont know if 700 watt is enough and if the motherboard supports both

PCPartPicker list is empty...
Basically it depends on which mfg you went with. I know the Asus cards are longer than the Sapphire cards (I have an Asus R9), and the Gigabyte's are huge. What case are you going with? Most mid tower and up cases have enough room, though with the longer ones you may need to shuffle your HDD/SSD's down a slot or two.

700w is the minimum requirement for a r9 270x crossfire setup so you are fine with power as long as you have a good quality psu.

JaxAxRho :

so you would be fine with that board, case and two cards in crossfire, BUT i wouldnt let that low end power supply touch my sli config. i would strongly recommend getting a new, better quality one.

Heres what i recommend:

Read some of the newegg reviews on the one you have. Look at all the bad ones!

Then look at the rating differences with the one I recommended you.

also here is the tom's hardware psu tier list for selecting a psu:

on the tier list you will see your psu on the "Avoid IMMEDIATELY." Tier 5 list.

be smart and dont burn down your house.
