650W PSU is sufficient to run two 560ti in SLI mode but you'll need to use molex to 6 or 8pin PCI-E power adapters to connect both graphics cards.

You can purchase a little adapter for the power plug. Most common one is molex. Just make sure the ratings match up. For instance, single molex is rated for 60 watts, pcie 6 pin is rated for 75 watts, so get dual molex to 6 pin (I guess in your case you would need two of them). Etc.

You need a bigger power supply to add a card. Your system with an additional card would be pushing apx. 619W. A 30% buffer is ideal, so a 750W would be the minimum that I would shoot for. If you have trouble finding one with 4 PCIe 6pin they do maka SATA-PCie convertors.

Ok, so I need to get 2 molex to 1 pin adapter.However I only have 3 molex connections left, can I get SATA power to 6 pin as I have a few of them left. Thanks sooo much, without this forum I wouldn't have the computer I have now!

You can convert SATA to molex or SATA to 6pin PCI-E but not sure for last one
