Ok guys I'm wondering if my corsair TX750w would be enough to power another GTX 770 4gb model or 2gb?

Current System
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB
HDD: Kingston SH103S3120G 120GB
Storage: Western Digital 3TB
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout 2
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast 750W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
 
I believe the "3x" means the three FANS. He says he just wants another 770.

Anyway,
As the above links shows a SUITABLE 850W is really recommended. I've seen some people say a 750W was adequate but I disagree.

What would likely happen is MOST games would work with your TX750, but then you'd get minor problems are simply crash and/or BSOD in more demanding games.

The FX CPU is also more demanding than the latest i5/i7's from Intel, especially when overclocked so it's not a simple answer, but in general I'd have to say NO.
 
Update:
Don't get a 2GB card if you already have 4GB.
When you SLI the memory is CLONED so both cards have the same data on them. Your system will only use the LOWEST amount of memory so it's best to get another 4GB card.

I'm not saying many games CAN use more than 2GB but if you wish to at least have the option you need both cards to be 4GB.
