Hello.

I would like to know if the 650 ti boost is a good investment and would like to know if a 600 watt ocx mod xtreme pro is good enough for 2 650 ti boosts in sli.
Specs -
AMD fx 6300
asus sabertooth 990fx GEN3
8 gig g.skill sniper @ 1866
aftermarket cooler
radeon 4550 sapphire fanless
500 gb hdd @ 7200 rpm

I don't have any specs on the 650 ti Boost due to it just coming out, but the slightly more powerful GTX 660 draws 11.7A @ +12V maxed out. So, using that as a guide I would say 2 of your cards should be fine with that PSU's 2 x 25A, +12V rails.

Instead of getting 2 weaker cards in SLI or CFX, get a single stronger card. This way you wont suffer from stuttering and your experience will be much better and also most games will not give you better performance from multiple cards but a single stronger gpu will give you much better performance with lesser hassles.
