I am trying to decide on a video card upgrade and want to run a dual card SLI setup. I don't think this PSU would be capable of running 2 gtx 760s or 770s which I would like. But to get better performance with this PSU in mind, what about 2 670s or something along that line?

Also where would the 670s fall in when comparing to other cards? I currently have 1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605

I tried running two of this card but on my motherboard MSI x58a gd65 they were too close together and created too much heat to be stable. I was told geforce cards have better cooling design so I'm looking to switch.

I need input.

With my motherboard it's impossible to put a graphics card in the 3rd slot...other connectors in the bottom corner are in the way of locking the card in place. Plus I don't think the output of the 3rd slot matches the output of the others. My attempt to install 2 radeon 7870s provided about 1/4" between the two cards and overheating issues. I honestly think I'm screwed with this mb and SLI or crossfire of any newer video cards...just doesn't have the right kind of spacing for proper air flow. So a new mb is on my upgrade list for the future. Probably just going to get a single 770 at this point then and a second when the next overhaul comes along.
