How's it goin guys, got something I need help with! I recently built my first gaming rig before the release of fallout 4 and realized what I have won't cut it. I currently have a 500W power supply and a Sapphire Radeon R9 270x Dual X GPU. It appears that that alone won't run fallout 4 on ultra settings. So I'm buying an identical Sapphire Radeon and need a power supply that will compensate both. I've been looking at the Cooler Master 750W but everyone says the cables aren't long enough for a full tower. I don't have a full tower but I'm about to buy one too. So is there another power supply you guys think would work? Thanks!

Yes. Very easy. One last recommendation. I would sell the 270 you have now and instead of adding another I would upgrade to a 970. It will be faster than 2x 270x's. You can run the 970 on a 550w PSU just fine.

EVGA G2 or XFX XTR. Both are Tier 1 and highly rated. There is one decent cooler master PSU but I do not think it is the one you are looking at. The PSU needs to be the most high quality part in a build over any other part.

I was looking at the Cooler Master v750 80 gold. It's a pretty good price. It's supposed to be pretty good

Thanks! and do you know where i could sell it for a good price? Cause Amazon would take about 15% of what I sold it for. Cause I'm about to buy that second one which is 180 and a new power supply which is 112. If I sold my other for a good price then I could get that 970
