My pc Config is
Asus motherboard P6X58D-E
Intel core i7 950
6 GB corsair DDR3
3 HDD
1 optical drive
XFX AMD HD 6870 GPU
And a local 500w PSU

Now I want to add one more GPU to the system using crossfire. Please suggest me a decent power supply. I use my pc mainly for gaming purpose. my budget is within 8000

Buy Corsair TX850V2 @7.8K

It would be enough for 2x 6870.

6870 doesn't require 850W PSU. if OP doesn't overclock the processor or GPU, 600W is sufficient. he can go for TX650W.

Go with Seasonic 620W or if you want a bit more headroom then TX750W

^You won't need that much. About 600W should do the job.
