Hi!,
I'm planning to add a second VGA to my build and was giving for a fact that I would need to replace the PSU but after chatting with some friends and using some of the calculators available online I'm not that sure anymore so figured I could ask here.
This is the PSU I have right now http://ocz.com/fatal1ty/fatal1ty-series-gaming-psu the 750w version. I've had it for around 3-to-4 years now.
This is my current build:
i7 4770k
ASUS MAXIMUS VII Ranger.
Nvidia GTX 770 2gb Zotac Amp Edition (factory OC version).
1 7200 RPM HDD.
1 Corsaid SATA SSD.
2x8gb RAM.
Coolermaster V6GT cooler.
4 case fans.
5-to-6 USB devices (keyboard, speakers, mouse, gamerpad, headset, cellphone or something else charging).
What I'm planning to add in the near future is another VGA exactly like the one I currently have, change the V6GT cooler for a Corsair h100i and do some OCing on the CPU. A longer term plan is to either add a second SSD or replace the one I have with something that goes in the M.2 slot on the board.
Would it be enough or should I play it safe and upgrade the PSU?. What I have in mind is either this one http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/enthusiast/v1000/ or the 850w version. I know a 1KW might be way too overkill but the price difference between the two where I live is pretty small.
