Hello, I've recently bought another GTX 660 to go together with my previous GTX 660. Will my system have enough power with the FX-6100 @ 4Ghz? Please tell me if you think I need to upgrade my PSU, thanks!

FULL SYSTEM SPECS:

CPU - FX-6100@4Ghz
GPU - GTX 660 SLI
RAM - Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz
CPU Fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212+
Mobo - Asus M5A97 R2.0
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB
SSD - OCZ Vertex 450 128GB
PSU - Corsair TX650W

well it does and it doesn't.

My bad on not catching this... you see the 970 chipset is not a xfire/SLi chipset... which means any pci-e slots populated past the first one will be a pci-e 2.0x4 slot. I can assure you most gpus would be significantly handicapped by such a slot, so your SLi configuration will be mostly wasted money.

SLi WILL work on that board... it just won't work well as the 2nd card will be handicapped somewhere in the order of 30% by that pci-e 2.0x4 slot.
