AMD is crossfire, Nvidia is SLI.

Id be careful running two 5770's on that PSU, its not very good, and a lot of them only output 430-450w. 600w is the suggested minimum for xfire 5770, and your not even pushing 600w.

BF4 is going to struggle on that system big time, FYI.

Your entire system is pretty much outdated and you don't have much ceiling room for upgrades before you start having to replace the majority of your components. If I were you I would play with what you have, and later build a new PC with a better cpu/mb/gpu/psu and reuse everything else, then sell the rest.

A single modern card in the 150-200 dollar range will walk circles around a crossfire 5770 setup.

Outdated but super useful PSU chart: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

And try this: https://mega.co.nz/#!9w1VVAzR!JFXnQ1...7p_xZsRXJYw2Jk , might give your current rig a small FPS boost. Unparks your CPU cores that windows 7 and 8 park at default.
