Under full load each of those cards will max out at 303W and a total of 37A, so at a minimum I would recommend nothing less than a 700W PSU. For a better answer I'd need to know the rest of your specs, including number of fans, HDD's CPU cooling etc.

Unless he is running a high end, power hungry AMD FX chip and a half dozen HDD's, in which case he'll need something closer to 850W.

Oh I forgot I am running an i5 4570, Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Mobo, A sandisk 120gb SSD, A seagate 1tb HDD, I have got three fans in my system, a stock cooler. And a TP-Link WiFi connector.

Doesn't make much difference. Its mainly the graphics cards that'll use the power. A 750W PSU will run it all.

Wait since the asus gtx 760 only has one 8-Pin connector. Will I need a converter? Or can the powersupply supply that?

The power supply will be fine with that. They usually come with a 6+2 connector for exactly that purpose.

For all I knew he could have had an FX-9590, which is why I asked for his specs. Unless you think that there is no difference between a 220W TDP and a 70W TDP when it comes to choosing power supplies...

Now go read the OP, where he doesn't state what CPU he is using. Then read the second post, which is mine, where I ask him to list his full specs because I wanted to know what CPU he was running. Then be quiet.

Thanks.

No - any two ports should be fine. But you might need to use an adapter eg DVI to VGA etc
