Kingston HyperX Predator Beast 16 GB,
Corsair 600W PSU

No you cant run both of them on that psu and even if you could they wont crossfire or sli together you need two 660s or two 280s.

I forgot the 280x is a much better card and that really is all you will need

you cant run a NVidia gpu with a ati card, they will not play nice with each other. You use to be able to with a hacked bios (never really looked into it) not sure if anyone is still doing this anymore.

I will be mining dogecoin, and it is not worth it to sell the card...

So no SLI or crossfire, i know that!

But PSU? Can it handle it? :)
