So this is the PC that I have right now:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB
Graphics Card: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda SATA3 6.0Gb/s 1TB
Solid State Drive: ADATA S510 6GB
Disc Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST 24x DVD Writer
Power Supply: Corsair Professional Series HX750
Running it for about a year now and have had no problems.
I'm looking to add in a SAPPHIRE HD 7970 OC 3GB GDDR5.
(Yes, I realize I have an Nvidia card and I'm getting an AMD card, I'm going to be using it for something different.)
The 660 Ti requires 450W (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4320#sp) and the 7970 requires 500W (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?pid=1463).
I'm going to be running the 7970 at 100% (may even overclock it) 24/7. + using the 660Ti for 2 displays and gaming (only on 1 display) every so often.
So my question: Is the current power supply I have good enough? Is 750W going to cut it for my usage?
