I will soon have 3x NVIDIA GTX260 video cards that I am planning to try out in Tri-SLI and was wondering if the largest power supply I have on hand would be enough to power the rig.
What I have in mind is this:
CPU- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 SLACR (CPU might vary though, I could have anything from an E4400-E8400 dual-core in, or a quad)
Motherboard- EVGA nForce 790i SLI
Memory- 2x2GB DDR3-1600 (minimum, may add more ram later though)
Graphics cards- 3x EVGA GTX 260's (Superclocked edition) in Tri-SLI
HDD- 160GB 7200RPM HDD (or 150-300GB+ 10,000 RPM Velociraptor if I find one at a decent price)
Fans- 5-6x140mm fans (at least one of which will be an LED model) 2-3+x120mm fans (at least one of which will be an LED model)
A fan controller
PSU- Corsair TX750
The power supply only has connectors for 4x6pin/6+2pin PCI-Express connectors though.
So, the big question is will I be able to use molex-to-PCIe power connectors and have enough Wattage and Amperage to power this rig? Or should I start looking for a power supply with higher Wattage/more Amperage/more connectors?
