I think you are pushing that psu pretty hard for it's rating; it's only rated for 40 amps on the 12v rail and besides sli you are running kind of hard on the 12v rail with the rest of the stuff in your system. The Corsair TX750 that shotawe linked you would be a better choice, IMO.

yeah i know the tx750 is better but i dont want to spent money getting another psu lol i already have this one i also was reading a review about the psu and they used a q6700 oc 3.6 1.45v 2xhdd and 2x9800 gtx with this psu so idk the 9800 gtx consume a lot of power too also my psu is 600w but max output is 720w

Let's do some rough math. :)
CPU 15A
GPU's 14A (both)
HDD 0.7A (seek)
DVDs 1.4A (both burning)
Fans 3.2A (I've considered a 0.4A/fan)
MB/MEM/H50 3A

Grand total 37A from +12V.
OK this is a worst case scenario with all components in full-load (unlikely to happen). I guesstimate a maximum 28-30A from +12V during games.
But as muddocktor says you have a heavy load on +12V and your PSU is a group regulated design with only 40A on +12V (for example indy regulated Corsair TX550 has 41A on +12V and TX650 52A).

Long story on short: you'll be fine with your PSU but on long term I'd say to have in mind a indy regulated PSU with more amps on +12V. :)

yeah i have a hx1000 in mind but im waiting a couple of months to get it and also get gt300 when they come out.

thx

thxThat is way too much PSU. The HX620 would run that no problem.

[coco16]

yeah the hx1000 is way too much for this rig now but im planning upgrading to the new nvidia series when they come out

Your wall fuse will blow at ~1600W...

I'm still waiting for someone to make a 3000W PSU.

Two of those cards in SLi won't require that much power.

There is a rumor these will be 250 watt each .

There is a rumor these will be 250 watt each .

which means it still wont need a 1kw psu to run two of them with the rest of a normal system ;)

however if you can get the 1KW corsair psu for a screaming good deal id pick one up but otherwise no. (and good deal meaning comparable to the cost of the HX850)
