I have a single gtx 670 and want to sli it but the cables from my psu that power my single gtx 670 i cant find anymore of the same that would power my second graphics card? Does the psu meant to have more of those cables ?

Generally if a PSU doesn't have enough cables, it is not appropriate for sli or xfire. Chances are that it isn't strong enough to power 2 GPUs at full load. I would invest in a better PSU.

How old is it ? Most newer 750W PSUs have 4 pci-e cables.

thing is; it's not just amount of Watt that's needed. If ur psu isn't xfire/sli certified chances are high you won't be able to use it for sli/xfire even if it were a 1000watt psu

yes, it should work. you will need to use a converter to get more pci-e cables.

Just too put this out there would this basically be the same as the other one i linked but because it's not modular it's cheaper :) Plus thanks for your help!http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CX750-Builder-Series-Bronze/dp/B008RJZR40/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385780522&sr=8-2&keywords=750w+psu

Yes it's the non-modular version of the other PSU.

+ corsair has a reputation for making some of the best psu's (they mistakes too tho so don't follow this blind). but the one you linked is a thrustworthy psu for sure
