Is it possible to crossfire amd a8-7600 r7?

DDR memory for motherboards is not the same as DDR memory for graphics, they are two different things but with the same name. For graphics cards you want DDR5 because it is twice as fast as DDR3. It will fit in the pcie x16 slot and it will work :)

is r7 250 2gb ddr3 oc better? I have a 2gb built-in video card on my pc and it is a dual graphic.
What do you prefer the most? I'm planning to put a higher or better video card on it so that i could play better when gaming

not yet.. I'm still planning that's why I'm looking for advice what is the best video card
 

Great, you should be able to get a GTX 750 DDR5 2GB for that price which would give you much better performance than running dual graphics with the R7 250.

The R7 250 doesn't use a bridge to crossfire, it's done through the pcie slot. The only benefit to that setup is the crossfire will use the 250 as primary card, so uses the gpus dram vrs the system ram used by the APU. Less stress on the APU, lower temps. Being crossfire though does have disadvantages, such as dismal support in many games. Making it almost pointless at that power level.
