Alright so here's the deal, I'm only 19 and just started working, so I've got a bit of money i can use to upgrade my system finally, now when i got my first paycheck i got the serious aging things out of the way (psu was dying, and upgraded my gpu).
over Christmas i got a new case for it, and i'm at a point where the only original components are the mobo and cpu, (even replaced the cooler) i know my system is at a stable point now, and that's great, however i'm running a single gpu. i'd LIKE to upgrade to a multi-gpu setup before i upgrade my mobo and cpu, because even though i know they're bottle-necking, i want to make sure the case can cool the 2 cards. but i'm just not sure if my psu can handle 2 cards on it.
the specs for the system are :
psu : EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 750W ATX12V
gpu : sapphire radeon r9 270
cpu : amd phenom x4 955 (3.2ghz)
mobo : asus m4n75td
cpu cooler : corsair h60
case has 8 140 mm fans in it.
I've also got 3 hdd's and a few peripherals that draw power, but /shouldn't/ be enough to cause a difference, if you want those listed i'd be happy, and my thing is i'm great at putting together core systems, but when we get into this multi-gpu more complicated stuff, it was never explained to me in a way i can understand. I can easily afford the 2nd r9 270,
my real worry is that it'll arrive, and have to upgrade my psu again in under 6 months to use the damned thing.
any tips you guys have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
