Will a corsair CX 750m be good enough for GTX 770SLI OC'ed?

I know that the actual "recommended" requirements for SLI 770 is 850w, but isn't this the "worst case scenario"?

I was actually planning on buying a CX600M + GTX 770 Windforce and add another one later on when the 770 starts to struggle.

1. Would the CX750M hold both cards OC'ed + OC'ed CPU?
2. Would it be worth it to buy the "more powerful" PSU right now and instead of the cheaper CX600M and upgrade later? =)

I can run 2 780s on that PSU so yes. Overclocking may not be a good idea though

No it's not sufficient , the CX Series from corsair has poor capacitors , and should not be stressed by overclocking.

Which one would you suggest in about the same price range? I've also seen some bad reviews about the Corsair but in the end I thought: ah well, 2x 8 pin + modulair...

Could you suggest an alternative for around the same price?

What would be the ceiling of the power supply budget.

Ehmm, actually I was planning on buying a 600w PSU for about €60-65, but for a PSU that can run 770 SLI OC'ed I'd say about 85-90€. I don't know if there is a quality PSU for that money though.

How about the Seasonic M12II 750w? Its €84 where I live. It has the 1x8pin 1x6pin right? Would that be a problem? A friend told me newer cards use 2x8 pin.
Apart from that, how will this one be for OC / holding the SLI 770?
I saw a forum post in which someone said he was running OC'ed 770 on a Corsair HX750w ;l.

Will it hold the 2 cards OC'ed in SLI + OC'ed CPU? My friend recommended the CX over this one because of the Corsair having 2x 8 pin and this one having 1x8 1x6, what makes this one a better choice? I know Seasonic is an excellent brand in general though.

It will SLI , but if you want to overclock go 2 850w.

PCI-Express Connector < Seasonic M12II 750w
4 x 6+2-Pin


The SEASONIC is a higher quality supply , CX Series is chealy built.
