If you have a half-decent power supply, over 500w preferably, I'd say you should be fine just slapping another 5770 in.
 
Is this your board?

If so, the second slot will only do PCIe v2 x4 speeds
Expansion Slots
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16)
1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (@x4 mode, 2.5GT/s, black slot)

This will bottleneck any second card and not provide the crossfire performance you would otherwise expect. However, it does support CrossfireX - so it will still run (provided you have a decent PSU).
