Hi,
I've been looking to upgrade my system. It's really just going to be an upgrade of my Mobo, Cpu, Ram and Graphics card.
The build in question is:
Intel 2500K
MSI P67A-G45
G.Skill 4GB 1600 Ram
2 GTX 560s.
Right now I'm running a 700w OCZ GameXstream power supply. I know fairly little about power supplies and power requirements. Would I need to upgrade my PSU to run the build? If so does anyone have experience with supplementary power supplies like this one? [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104054[/url]
If [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341002]this[/url] is your PSU you'll be fine
A Corsair PSU, they run like champs and have a great 5 year warranty.

That's mine alright. Well I'll buy the build and if my PSU isn't sufficient I'll pick up a better one. I'll trust what you say as I know nothing about PSUs.

Now that doesn't cover other important things such as your rails, but if you get a PSU from any trustworthy brand like Cooler Master or Corsair (which you should, NEVER skimp on the PSU) then you won't have to really worry about that in the higher wattage range unless it's some kind of wierd non-standard PSU
The total system draw with 2 GTX 560s is 450W
that PSU is rated for 525W on the 12V rail
you'll be fine
why do you have 2x gtx 560?
do you have one and are adding another?
Corsair AX 750w
I'd also recommend a Corsair. 750 should be fine. By the way, shouldn't this go in the PC Building section?

Name a reason not to. It performs almost as well as a 590 for $100 less.
