I'm wondering if i will be able to run sli on my current system.
I currently have an antec case with a trio 550 psu
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ AM2
3 hds 250 gig each
Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb

Is the 550 watts going to be enough to run sli

It's very possible if you lose maybe 2 of those HDDs, but in my opinion that's pushing it.

That power supply is not going to cut it.

I went with a 750W PS just for this reason. I would recommend you upgrade to at least 700W or higher. You have to consider your total output and amperage needed for that setup.

Sorry Alexderaven, I doubt that would work, I mean you need at least 450W for one of them, so I wouldn't recommend less than 650W :(
