Can I add a second 7950 to my set up?

[Bromhead]

Hi guys, my system spec is in my sig. I have seen a 7950 for sale...thinking of adding this to my rig.

Can anyone tell me if my psu will hold up with the addition of a second 7950?

Can't find the PSU anymore on Overclockers site but this is a "Cooler Master GX 650W '80 Bronze Plus'

Your motherboard only has one PCI-E slot, so you cant add a second card I'm afraid.

Just to confirm your board:

Now I feel silly. That shows how long it has been since I last opened up my computer.

I will be upgrading the cpu/mobo this month...likely an i5 ivy or haswell. Would the 650w be enough for crossfire or is something more needed. What's the sweet spot for crossfire.

Doh

Looking at a review of your psu it gave it thumbs down for crossfire support, when you decide to upgrade look at 750w.
