Hey guys,

Im starting to upgrade my current build slightly im hopeing to be running x2 1080p monitors (24inch) with a MSI 660 TI. However im wondering will 650 watt PSU be good enough? It is a Antec Truepower Bronze PSU. It was around £70 so it is a high end bronze PSU.

Opinions guys?

If you are going to use only 1 GTX660Ti, it will be enough.
In fact 550W should be already good :) 

The 2 monitors have nothing to do with the PSU rating.

[Edit] Antec does produce good PSUs. Corsair is also good, Seasonic too.

I mean there's a difference in Good Quality and High End ( Modularity , 80+ Gold or Platinum , Cleanest Power , etc ) Truepower isn't in the high end list. I admit Antec has some great PSU's though. However I am a SeaSonic Fanboy.

Well.....there is one reason why Corsair "builds" good PSUs

I have heard from trusted sources that S*as*n*c is actually behind Corsair PSUs ^o^

If you knew anything about power supply units you would know that the Antec TruePower New 650W (TP-650) uses Seasonic as the OEM. It's better than any Corsair CX model in terms of quality.

It's more than enough to handle a system using two GeForce GTX 660 Ti cards in 2-way SLI mode.
