Will the Corsair TX650W PSU be enough for EVGA GTX 460 in SLI?
I think it was Tom's September SBM $1000 build that had a 600w psu in it running the same. Will this be enough?

Heres the rest of the build if you were wondering
EVGA SLI M-ATX z68
Intel I3-2120
EVGA GTX 460
Corsair Vengeance 4gb
Asus 24x DVD Drive
Seagate Barracuda 500gb

Yeah I spent two weeks searching for a great mobo but I heard way to many bad things about gigabyte and I have a bad feeling about ASRock. I don't need all those fancy things that come with alot of mobos so I just stuck with a brand I trust.
It is a budget build and my limit is $750 (CAD) with Tax and Shipping. Right now the total comes to $735. I would go with a MSI or ASUS board but I couldn't find one that I liked. Any suggestions?

Don't bother with the ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA it doesn't support Xfire/SLI it's x16x4.

Nope! other the it's mATX and has very limited slots.
Once you add two gpus you're done.= no more expansion slots.

Would it even be worth the risk? I guess I would have to get an i7 also?

No sense building a X58 at this point.

I have 460 1GB's SLI'ed and have an ASrock Ex3 Gen3 MB and a 2500K@4.2. I bought a 750W Antec HCG 750 because it had enough PCIe connectors. Has worked fine for 6 mos.
Don't believe everything you hear. ASrock has a great MB at a great price.
I also have a Gigabyte MB and an I5 2400 stock fan. GTX 460SE. If it weren't for the power light you wouldn't know it is running it's so quiet. Those Scythe fans are good.

Mabye I'm reading this wrong, but this card requires 2x power inputs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... and the PSU you listed only has 2x PCIE cords. So if you're running two cards, you'll need 4x PCIE cords.

Right on. I'm planning on buying that build now then upgrading in the future with a Ivy Bridge and a second 460. Would it be smarter to just to pick up the 750w?Don't really need 750 watts, but it should have all of the connectors that you will need for SLI.
If buying new, why buy one that doesn't have all the connector's that you can foresee yourself using ?

There is PCI connecters that come with the graphics card I believe*. But the 750w is only 15$ more than the 650 in Canada so I'll get the 750w.
As for the motherboard I think I'm gonna stick with EVGA. I've had great experiences with them and want to support them. If for some whack reason I decide not to get the EVGA board I'll get the ASrock Ex3 Gen3 board.
