I have a Msi R9 380 4GB and I was wondering should I crossfire or sell it and get like a 980 or 390x. I have a 750w psu and I'd need a better one to crossfire, but id be willing to put the $300+ for another GPU and PSU, or should I get a better card.

The 380s 4GB should outperform any single GPU card available except the Titan X / 980 Ti

Your PSU is fine

This is Guru3D's generic power supply recommendation for the R7 and R9 series:

AMD R9 380 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 380 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
