I am intending to upgrade my build from a AMD phenom II 1045t and one gtx 670 to an Intel Core i7 4770k, two 670s and a MSI H97 PC Mate motherboard.

From my calculations, I think the PSU can just about supply the power needs of everything, but each 670 has two 6 pin power cable inputs making a total of 4 and overall my power supply only has two 6 + 2 power cables. Can the PSU still run the two cards?
Thanks!

No you will need at least a quality 650w , such as a XFX , Seasonic , ANTEC.

I would go to the 750w rage for headroom.

The CX Series uses poor capacitors.

Right okay, thanks for the advice, so the Corsair wont be able to handle it then. I might as well just get a 1000W PSU and never have to worry about it again I guess.
