I have had my computer that I build like 7 months ago and it runs beautifully. I am already planning my upgrades so I don't have to waste my time when I go off to school and this will be so cool after I get everything completed. Here's the link to my upgrades and you will see that the ones that aren't marked as PURCHASED will be the ones I'm planning to buy later. Please tell me if I will have enough watts, if anything needs to be changed out or isn't needed but I'm already set on most of the stuff.

Thanks for your time! :ange:

that corsair TX650 can defiantly handle a 660 SLI setup; even the estimate wattage on pcpartpicker (which slightly over estimates)
Estimated Wattage: 544W

though i would like to suggest stepping up to a better SINGLE gpu instead of SLIing two midrange cards. ie selling the 660 and getting a 780.

Those are great choices for upgrades, but you'll need to upgrade your PSU if you want to sli. Also, I would get a better motherboard before getting a new CPU cooler. Other than that those are great choices for upgrades.

Mine only has 2 3pin fan connectors.. How can I add more fans to that if that could only allow 2 fans?

My bad, most modern motherboards have around 4 chassis fan headers

It really depends on how much you plan on spending, PSU wise you can either get a EVGA Supernova (It's good but not the best) or an XFX/Seasonic PSU (Best of the best). Mobo wise you can get an AsRock 970 Extreme4 (Very nice but not the best) or an ASUS ROG Crosshair Formula-Z or an ASUS Sabertooth 990.FX (These are the best of the best). Your choice though.
