I'm wondering if a 620w max power supply is safe for two GTX 660's... I built my first computer a while back, overclocked it and love it. Now I want to see if I can add another GTX 660(non TI) and SLI them to run some new games maxed out. Right now my PC consists of:
Asus P8Z77-V
i5-3570K @ 4.5Ghz 1.28v
Corsair H60 v2
EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2
Corsair 300R Windowed Edition
SeaSonic M12II 620 PSU
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866mhz
Asus Blu-ray Burner(BW12B1ST)
Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB
Overclocked the PC runs perfect with no errors, but I know the CPU draws more power. Right now this isn't an issue, but will it become one if I add a new GPU?
Also, my PSU is rated at 620w MAX, will that affect anything? If I remember correctly it has 24 amps on two rails(not really sure what that means, but it matches up with what I think the GTX 660 needs). I read some reviews before I bought it, and they seemed pretty good which is why I bought it. Will it hold up over 1-2 years? Will this fry my parts? How dangerous is it for them?
This whole thing(building my PC, OCing it, and upgrading it), is a learning experience for me. It would be great if you told me your reasons for what you think and why so that I can gain some knowledge of how this all works. I just want to learn. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.
