Ok I'm sure my psu corsair cx750m is more then enough for this SLI setup but I just wanted to ask to be certain.
This will be the setup- 2x Evga gtx 460 1gb gddr5 256-bit graphics cards.
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H (rev. 1.x) socket 1150 motherboard
Corsair cx750m 750w power supply modular
2x 4gb gskill 1866 ram 2x 2gb gskill 1866 ram total 12gb ram dual channel
Asus blu ray burner sata
Asus dvd burner sata
1tb sata III Seagate hard drive 7200rpm 64mb cache
Intel core i3-4130 54w 3.4ghz Haswell 1150 cpu
Zalman aftermarket cpu cooler 92mm fan
card reader front panel
Bastet case by CFI
4x 120mm blue led case fans
windows 8.1 pro 64 bit with media center

I think that should cover specs, just want to be sure my corsair 750w is good for this.

My honest opinion ? Just dont. Get a new more powerful GPU so you can upgrade later. You may say that i have 560 Ti SLI . Yeah but i got them for 100$ both :D  so that was a deal nearly 2 years ago. Tell me your budget. Im willing to help you to make the best decision. :)

Well I picked up both of the gtx 460s for $50 each, I currently run a gtx 650 1gb pcie 3.0 x16 at pcie 3.0 x16, I got a good deal on them and want to try them out in sli once they get here. Atm I don't want to spend a ton on 2 sli cards with all this ridiculous bitcoin mining driving up graphics card prices.

If and when I find a deal on 2x gtx 760 cards I'll go that route budget isn't really an issue its just a choice not wanting to spend $500+ on 2 cards lol if I could find a couple newer generation cards about $150 each that would be ok.

Why do you want to SLI . Just pick up a 770/760 and be happy with it. Need more info on this SLI of yours.

I had Evga GTX 460 some months ago. Just tested them for a day. I prefered more my 560 Ti when it was solo than the 460 SLI'ed .
