Hello Toms Hardware community!

Long time browser, first time poster here so go easy on me.

As the title suggests, I am looking to SLI my GTX 760 with another... I want to make sure my current specs will support this for top end gaming... so without further delay.

Intel Core i5 3570 K Edition 3.40GHz Ivybridge
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Intel Z77
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB
Corsair CX 600W V2 "80 Plus Bronze" Rated Power Supply

2 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 760 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Thank you in advance guys - Any information would be really appreciated.

Regards,
Luke

I'd recommend this one if you don't care about modular
XFX PRO750W Core Edition £71.98 Made by seasonic, arguably the best PSU maker right now.

And this one if you want (semi) modular
XFX 750W XXX Edition

As for cooling, you may need to purchase more fans for your case, depending on what you have now. If you already have at least one intake fan and one outtake, I'd recommend just waiting and seeing how your temps do, and if they end up being high you can always add more case fans later, provided there is room in your case for them.

Really nice system you have, solid choices.

I think you are going to need to also upgrade your PSU. For 760SLI you'll want closer to 650, 700W for some headroom. I just don't think that CX600 will be able to handle it.

What country are you in? Maybe I (or someone else) can help you find a good deal.

Wow, thanks for the speedy response!

I currently live in the UK - preferred supplier being OCUK but open to good, reliable & cheap suppliers.

- What PSU do you guys recommend?
- Is it just the PSU I need to worry about?
- What about cooling?! The PC will be running 4-8 hours a day.

Thanks again guys!

Regards,
Luke
