730w is plenty if it's not garbage. What PSU do you have?

Honestly I would sell your GPU and use some of the money to buy an RX480 if you really want an upgrade. You won't have to upgrade your power supply and you'll get a better experience on games that don't support CrossFire.

That's a fair concern since that's a pretty shitty PSU you've got.

Oh okay. I would either keep that or sell both of them and buy an RX 480. :P
