Hey guys so I was thinking of going SLI.

I already have one EVGA gtx 670 and I was thinking of getting the Asus Gtx 670 mini which only requires 1 8 pin connector. This would work really well and I don't think my PSU (700 watt ModXstream pro) will have any issues.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the Asus mini cheap or even on ebay. It cost $380 on newegg. The cheapest Gtx 670 i found was $285 but my Psu doesn't have the required connections so I would have to spend another $120 for a seasonic 850 watt psu. Altogether it would cost me $405 for the gpu and psu.

If I just buy the Asus mini it would only cost me $380.

Or I could sell the 670 and buy a 780 but I know that a 670 SLI will murder a gtx 780.

What should I do??

700 watt is enough but the PSU might die out as i think its generic. oh and with proper driver support it will perform 10-15% better at times than the 780. so id say save a little more, buy a good seasonic 700- or 750 PSU.

It's from OCZ it isn't generic. I'll probobally get a new PSU and buy the used 670
