Would you change this PSU

Hello all,

I have a second Desktop with:-

ASUS P8Z68-V MB
2x660Ti GPU's in Sli
1x SSD
1x HDD
2x fans

The ASUS manual says to use a 1000 watt PSU if going Sli but I think this would be overkill.

I do have an "OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply" but wondering if it would be wise to change it to a more reputable make i.e. Seasonic or Corsair for example with higher output.

Any comments/advice would be welcome.

Cheers

Your current OCZ will be more than capable of powering that.

Seasonic and Antec (Seasonic inside) are generally considered the best, but you have a lot of head room with your current PSU, so I wouldn't waste any money buying a new PSU.

1000W is generally only required when over clocking a 6 or 8 core chip with water cooling and SLI/Crossfire.

You current PSU will be fine, you be lucky to pull 500w full load on that system.
