I'm new to the building thing too, but I think the 750watt you have there will be plenty for you and then some.

You could probably get away with 500watt with only one GPU I'm guessing, but always good to have some head room, especially if you want to do SLI mode with the 460.

Yes i am planning on doin SLI
so thats y i want a 750

750 is unnecessary. Even if you get a second GPU down the road and configure it in SLI, a 650watt is plenty enough to sustain it.

If you're absolutely adamant about a 750, though, the best one I can recommend is the SeaSonic X750. It's a bit more costly than the average PSU, however it is also obscenely quiet, one of the most efficient PSU's available today in the market and has great overall quality. You can read its nearly identical little brother's review, the X650, here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article986-page1.html

ok, thank you

I recommend the xfx 750w. It really isnt overkill if you sli in the future. And you might as well buy a higher supply so you dont need upgrade in the recent future. And I have this power supply and it is absolutely fantastic.
