Okay so in 2011 I bought a gaming computer off of cyberpowerpc.com It was my own personal build so I only got I graphics card as it was cheaper that way, and I didn't think that I would ever need an upgrade

The graphics card I bought was a 6770 AMD Radeon HD 1 GB DDR5 16x and my power supply is a XtremeGear 600 watt power supply. So I was wondering maybe if it was possible for me to get double cards with what I have or should I upgrade me power supply. The rest of the specs will be below


Specifications:
OEM AMD FX-4100
2TB SATA III 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB CACHE 3.5" HD
4GB DDR3/ 1600 MHZ MEMORY
ASETEK 510LC 120mm watercooler
Case fan 120mm
Red cold cathlod 12" neon light
Black lite-on 24x DVDRW
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ CROSSFIRE USB3.0 SATA 3
XtremeGear 600 watt power supply
Amd radeon hd 6770 1 gb ddr5 16x
Onboard 7.1 sound

If your crossfiring THAT card then you almost certainly won't need an PSU upgrade. but If you have the cash to hand, get a Corsair 750W and that should be future proof for quite some time

Okay is so how much do you think a Corsair 750w would cost?
And when you say cross firing that does that mean with the bridge adapter?

$90.

Yes, you'd need a C/F bridge, they are usually supplied by your MOBO. All you do is hook up the PCIE power connectors for the card if need be and attach the C/F bridge and make sure everything is smooth temps wise and performance wise.
