I want to get a third BFG 9800gtx OCX but I am not sure if it can handle all of the power needed. My psu is the Pc Power and Cooling 750watt silencer it has 60amps on one rail

My specs are:

8 120 mm high performance fans 1 80mm high performance and 1 230mm led fan all on a controller.
2 2gig sticks of ddr2 ram
q6600@3ghz no voltage mod
780i sli mobo
1 harddrive
1 cd burner
1 PCIE1x sound card
will it be able to handle all that power?
Thanks.

well hello my friend:
go to http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html
look up your video card (it will be under 3 9800 gtx) it will give you a good idea if your psu can handle it but if its not on the list that doesnt mean it cant
too be honest i doubt it, its always better to get power

The PSU will handle that rig fine. I'm using Q6600 OC'ed to 3.6 with 4850 crossfire on a 550watt psu - actual power consumption is less than 420w.
