Here is the graphics card im currently looking at

I would like to crossfire the cards, but i would settle with just having the 6870 run solo. Im aware ill have to upgrade my power supply probally, any suggestions for solo 6870 and for if i did crossfire them?

unfortunately, you can only run CrossfireX with two identical cards, but your system SHOULD be able to handle the single 6870 with no problems

a 500w power supply would work, but you should still upgrade it just to be safe, but for the time being, 500w is alright.

500w is the bare minimum
