Hi guys, i'm planning on getting MSI GTX 760 Hawk, i wonder if i have to upgrade my power supply as well.

Here are my current spec:

PROC - i7-2600K
MOBO - Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3
RAM - 16GB of Ram (Corsair vengeance/dominator, i forgot which one it is)
HDD - 2TB WD Green/Blue
- 750GB WD Green
VGA - Gecube HD4850 OC Edition
PSU - FSP Bluestorm 500Watt

And if yes, any recommended PSU? ( i may be upgrading some elements like hdd or processor in the future )

Extra question : Will MSI GTX 760 Hawk can handle dual monitors well? (i'm using dual 24" 1920x1200 res)

Thank you for reading this thread!

Hey, the FSP Bluestorm PSU's are badass, I had the 400watt version in my first game-build in 2005, and still blow me away abpout his performance and so still quiet.
It will handle your build (with GTX 760)it without any problems if your not planning to overclock your 2600K to much and not trowing 6 case-fans and 2 fan-controllers and 1 display-screen and a blue-led lights like I did in my case ;)
