If you had one SSD and 2 sticks of ram I would say go for itRecommended Power Supply
Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
GeForce GTX 460
On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 to 500 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 460 in SLI
A second card requires you to add another ~200 Watts. You need a 650 ~700 Watt power supply unit.
There are many good PSUs out there, please do have a look at our many PSU reviews as we have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there. What would happen if your PSU can't cope with the load?:
bad 3D performance
crashing games
spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC
freezing during gameplay
PSU overload can cause it to break down
If you have RIAd and 2 optical and 3 fans and 4 sticks of ram and cold cathode bells and whistles , I would upgrade
COCO
600w is more than enough, even with extras.
the full system will be along the lines off
i5 2500k
4x2gb DDR3
1 blu ray drive
1 SSD
1 Samsung F3 1tb
GTX 460 768mb ( x 2 SLI)
and one pci freeview card.
would my psu be fine or cutting it to close :S.
That should be fine provided you're not overclocking the pants off the CPU, in which case you might be cutting it close.
thanks for the help dude, yah i dont plan on overclocking that much, if I feel I need to at some point I guess then I can upgrade.
The best way to tell if your 600W will power all your kit is to use a PSU Calculator.
This will show you exactly what your PC uses at normal or high load. I still recommend reading the following guide to see if your current PSU will need replacing soon.
