I'm thinking of getting a 2nd 970 but not sure if it's a good idea, also if my power supply would manage it.

My psu is: Seasonic M12II-620 EVO.

cpu: i7 6700 non-k version.
motherboard: msi z170A sli
ssd: samsung 250gb
hd: WD 1TB 72k rpm

It will easily handle dual 970's. It can even handle two 1070 in sli config. Gone are the days you needed 1000 watt psu's. The components used today are very power efficient. Dont worry about anything... Its a good psu.

Anything else I should know? Do you think it's a good to get a 2nd card?

I read a similar thread on this forum, and one of the comments mentioned that my psu doesn't have enought amps to run dual 970s. Is that true?
