Spec me PSU for my RIG

Hi Guys,

My Gaming rig is in my sig below, however i would like to upgrade my GPU card.

I was thinking about 2 x GTX460's in SLI or something similar.

First off would it be possible on my PSU?

Some people on the Forum have said it would be fine but the corsair calculator has said i need a 1000w PSU.

IF not, which PSU would you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Shep.

Your HX850w is awesome.

It will be perfect, the above chart from Anandtech is using Furmark, which puts a lot more stress on a system than just playing games.

thanks mate, so i won't suffer and shutdowns etc if my system is under full load?

Why not just get one 480 or 5870?

Because 2 x 460's are cheaper than a 480 with better performance!
