I currently have 1 gigabyte 980 and looking to get another, my current PSU is a evga 750w b2. Would this be good enough for 2 980s? Thanks..

@JackJones: You are good. The i5-4690 only has an 88 watt TDP. Buy the new 980 and don't stress it.

And if you wouldn't mind, once you have both GPU's going in SLI, could you check your CPU utilization during game play, if it's not too much to ask? I'm personally curious to know how far two 980's will push the 4 cores on your i5. I think you're going to be in for some great FPS.

without even knowing what cpu you have and the rest of the sytem, it is safe to say you have plenty of power. at most it is a 200w card (superclocked ones) so 2 of them plus even a highly oc'ed cpu won't break 550w unless it is one of those 225w amd fx 9*** series cpu's. even then you're still good to go :)

I'm sorry I forgot the other parts, my CPU is a 4690 non K.
