Yeah you should have no issues really. Overclocking CPUs gets you into unpredictable territory when it comes to power usage but you should have plenty of headroom to avoid running into problems.

Alright, Thanks for the quick reply! As far as Overclocking goes I'm not sure if I'm going too. My machine runs flawless at default settings.

Wise man! Sometimes tinkering can ruin a good setup.

Its the variable that can complicate things really. CPU is rated at 84W but once you start to fiddle with it it'll shoot above 100W pretty easily but you'd be unlikely to go above 150W with an Intel CPU. Regardless, 850W is plenty to play with.

From what I've learned in my research is that one of these video cards draw out about 230 Watts. If that's correct two cards would be 460 Watts plus whatever else I need to power the rest of the system CPU,HD,ETC.
