I have been wanting to upgrade for about a week now. I have some questions that I can't seem to find the answers Im looking for. I figured I would throw my specs on here and ask the questions.

My main questions are related to the fact that I would like to add 2 more monitors onto my system....
Is my power supply enough to support a 2nd video card?
If I get a second video card, am I going to need more than the 8 gigs of ram that I already have?
If I get a second video card do I need to get the same card as the one I have and cross-fire them? Or can I just get any 2nd video card and have it run the 2 extra monitors?
I'm assuming I should get a 2nd video card since I want 2 more monitors and I dont want them slowing down my main monitor and my gaming. Is this true?
I bought this PC thru cyberpower pc almost exactly 1 year ago and It has been the best computer I have owned. I'm very happy with it and would really like to upgrade it.
Any thoughts would be greatly appriceated!!!
