Long story short, I've got a 560Ti that I want to SLI since I'm going to upgrade my motherboard to a new 990.

Would an Antec 750W draw enough power for the SLI?

(Specifically this PSU) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371022&Tpk=Antec TruePower TP-750 750W

170 x 2 = 340 Watts...

I don't see an issue... But I'm no expert... But I believe that power supply could do a GTX 590 and that's just a little bit more...

I believe there is a website where you can check for certified power supplies... www.slizone.com , but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

Edit
Here it is: http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html

Unfortunately its no help to you....

I tried using NewEggs PSU calculator.

I came out with ~730W. With my 750W, is this cutting it too close?

Click to expand...

Some of those online calculators are rough estimates... every system is different, and it can't know for sure..

I just did mine, and it came to 930 Watts... I would not trust it.. I have a 750 watt.... lol
