GTX 560Ti - SLI Advice?

[FullmetalBallsack]

Hey, my name is Chris, new to the forum! xD

I was looking to upgrade my system with 2 GTX 560Ti's and was wondering if my Corsair HX Pro Series 750w would be capable of doing so with everything else that I'm running. I'm only running 1 HDD at the moment also. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers.

depends on the other hardware / clocks you are running... should be fine really i ran mine in sli for a few days with the same power supply

Your power supply should handle that no problem. I'm running a system similar to yours, but with 2 GTX470s on an 850w Corsair. The 470s are hungrier than the 560s for power.

as long as you dont oc the cards you should be fine imo you might wanna wait for a second opinion, 750w would be minimum though

The cards I'm wanting to pick up are overclocked to 900Mhz The Gigabyte GV-N560 OC.

The H50-1 suits my needs perfectly.

I will do man. Got everything neatly set up in a black NZXT Phantom Enthusiast case.

Do you already have a 560? If not, why go straight for SLI when you could pick up a 580 and upgrade in the future?

I was checking out benchmarks on youtube and SLI 560Ti's owned 1 580 so, y'know. Also, I'm tight for cash at the moment and only getting the one 560 for the time being.
