My current rig
i5 6600k
Strix R9 380 4GB
16GB 2x8GB DDR4 Ram
750w psu
Asus z170 k mobo

I am getting used r9 380 4gb for around 8000 indian rupees
Should I crissfire.
Gpu prices are rising too much, What should I do?
Upgrading to new single gpu is difficult because of price.

Since you are already getting it, you should crossfire. Not all games are crossfire compatible, many others give bugs and crashes but some will benefit. You need a quality PSU though, these two will bring the psu to its knees if it's a budget one, so consider this with caution before you proceed. In general using one powerful gpu is better than 2 in sli/crossfire. You may sell them and buy a single high end when prices fall

What is the exact PSU model? As already stated, that is rather important with 2 such rather power-hungry cards.

In general, though, crossfire works with most modern games, but it can be a bit troublesome to get it working. When working, though, it should give you a decent performance boost.
So, Crossfire = trouble to set up, but supported by most games in the end :)

Can't find any technical specifications for that power supply, even on the manufacturer page. It hasn't been certified by 80 Plus or Cybernetics. Therefore, I can't 100% tell you whether it will work or not.
But all this makes it seem fairly low-quality so I personally wouldn't try it...
