Hi guys,

I want to know if my Antec HCG-750 750W high current gamer 80 plus bronze is able to support:

I5 3570k over clocked at 4.4 GHz
x2 gtx 680 in sli standard clock ( might over clock later)
8gb ram

Thank you :)

Splendid
yeah it should be enough, the gtx680 is actually rather good on power efficiency, only furmark pushes it above 200 watts and in TPUs review the highest reading in Crysis2 was 186W...

and OCed 3570k won't draw 300 watts either.

You could also get a consumption meter like a kill-a-watt to monitor the power draw from the wall socket. It would give you some idea how much stress you're putting on the psu.
