Blooming EVGA

I want to SLi my existing EVGA SC EVGA 784 mb card.

The problem is, I cannot find the same card at 784mb for love or money at a reasonable price.

Long shot I know, does anyone know where I may be able to pick one up, dont mind if its second hand.

And I know I can SLI any GTX 460 but I love the EVGA and im becoming a bit of a amateur pc builder and 2 cards of different brands would look ugly

Also, I am scared now as I have a Hiper 630w M series PSU, I even tore my pc apart yesterday to check what model it was after being terrified by the explosive club posts - would that be ok on a rig in SLi with i2500k, x1 sata drive, x1 dvd drive?

cheers

unfortnately can't recommend anywhere other than ocuk to buy parts, forum rules.

psu should be fine for what your planning.

even parts that OCUK does not stock? I wouldnt say that breaking the forum rules if its something they do not sell?

they sell graphics cards, far as i'm aware the rules relate to competition so anywhere selling graphics cards are competition to ocuk, make/model don't come into it

I've had a quick look, and can't even find your card on the EVGA site (got a link to it on there?)

The best solution maybe to sell your current card, and use the money and the money you was going to buy a new one with, to get two new ones. Second hand market you can get some good deals.

EDIT: I found one a GTX 460 768MB on another site, "order by request". See if you can find it, google is your friend. Then give them a call, see if they can get one quickly to you. It is currently priced at £129.99, so it still maybe worthwhile selling yours, and buying two new.

you can't link to anywhere that sells PC hardware as that is OCUKs main business. Also asking for shops is againest the rules.

Google is your best bet.

Also imho swap out the Hyper PSU, get a nice Corsair and then have no worry about it going boom.

Might be best posting in the GC Forum.

There's an EVGA rep on there, Nick. His username is EVGA_Nick and I'm sure if you put EVGA in the subject title he'll see it and respond.
