Hello everyone,

I'm going to purchase a second 680 GTX for SLI configuration, and I'd like to know if I need to upgrade the PSU as well. I tried to google it and found conflicting answers, as some say the 650W PSU should be fine while others recommend going 750W and higher. Any opinions/experience on this matter?

Thanks!

Personally and for peace of mind I'd prefer a quality 750 power supply for SLI. Can you list your complete hardware including your power supply?
 
Well, the 680 is 200w at stock IIRC.

If your CPU is a 4 core Intel from SandyBridge and up, you should be good, even allowing a mild OC on the GPU's/CPU (250wx2+100W).

If an AMD, pass and go for a 750w.

I'll couple it with i5 2500k or AMD 8350 FX, 2x4 DDR3 sticks, 1x HDD, 1x SSD, and a few fans (~4-5).
