Hey,
Is this a high end build for gaming? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/ZNkdJx
I understand that the PSU is bad, but I have had it for a year now and have had no problems with it.
Thank you! =)

Its very high end and very nice i would love to have that. But like you said the PSU is bad and i would not risk hooking up an old low quality psu to all those nice and im sure very expensive parts not to mention 600 watts might not even be enough for two 970s in sli.

You might encounter problems with that PSU with 970s in SLI.

Your psu is a decent budget psu.
I don't think I would try to run dual GTX970 cards with it. More like 700w will be needed.

Look for a quality Seasonic, xfx, or antec psu.

That's a great build, check out this PSU for that build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750x...

That said, what resolution is your monitor? You could probably hold off on the 2nd 970, or buy a single 980 if you're just driving a regular 1080p display.
