I did say that 550W won't be able to support SLI, but nor can the 650W. (unless we're talking about GTX 750 Ti or some other low power consumption cards). For example, I would say that 650W will be sufficient for a GTX 650 Ti SLI, but not for a GTX 760 SLI because their max TDP goes a lot higher.

Most cards with max TDP under 130 will be able to handled by 650W in a SLI config. Although that isn't saying that it will be power efficient, because most PSU are most power efficient when under 50-60% load.

In your case of GTX 660 SLI (I don't recommend that, but if you...

You're better off with an R7 265. It's basically a rebadged 7850 with higher clock speeds. Retails for $150. It sold out within a few hours at Newegg this past Wednesday. Be on the lookout for when it comes back in. You'll want to pick one up before the miners get to it and cause severe inflation. If you can't manage to get one you're much better off going for an nvidia card. Currently all AMD cards are inflated.

I recommend the GTX750Ti.

Here's a quick guide but the HD7850 /R7-265 /GTX750Ti are all roughly similar, however you'll need to factor in current PRICE and the GPU frequency to determine value.

In some games the GTX750Ti even beats an HD7870 but in most the HD7850 and GTX750Ti are nearly identical.

The GTX750Ti uses a lot less power and runs QUIETER than previous cards as it uses the new, efficient, Maxwell GPU.

Here's the card I recommend for $150:

1. 550W will not be sufficient for SLI/CF configuration
2. ASRock 970 Extreme 4 will get the job done and also be able to support FX 8 series in the future according to many actual experiences
3. Don't get WD Green unless it's a lot cheaper or you want to save a few watt

In your case of GTX 660 SLI (I don't recommend that, but if you do), with Antec being higher quality.
