I just bought a 570 for £205 (which I think it epic) and I'm wondering what sort of power it requires, I want to go SLI in say December, but I cannot remember if my PSU can handle it? Stulid suggested the PSU and I'm not sure what I quoted him to be using. Also will my CPU bottleneck is a lot?
 
Haven't I seen that you have the OCZ Z-Series 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply?

If so it'll be fine for SLI'd GTX 570's.

I'm more concerned about your processor and motherboard.

It seems likely the processor would be a bottleneck but someone with more experience of AMD will have to confirm that.

What motherboard do you have?

Most AMD boards aren't SLI compatible. If you have an incompatible motherboard your only hope of running SLI is trying one of the hacks out there in Internet land.

FYI your signature should have a maximum of 4 lines of text.

I have EVGA GTX 570 HD SC in SLI, i have a 1000w OCZ gold cert PSU, more than enough power i think, so i think you have enough power via your PSU, however surveyor is right about the CPU, it may bottle neck your performance of the card.

Great price though :)
 
Will do if I go ahead with it, just sorting few things out. Getting my new mobo/cpu/ram in few weeks, nice i5 2500k (Unless BD arrives on the 13th....LOL)
