Hi, I am building a computer and I was wondering if the PSU I selected would power 2 GTX 680's SLI

Here is a list of all the parts I've selected for my build:

The PSU is the Antec HCG-900:

Here is the card I plan to use in SLI:

I don't plan on overclocking right away, but there is a possibility of minor overclocking in the future.
Will the PSU be sufficient for that build? If not, could you please recommend a PSU to me?

All help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Hi there your PSU should be fine however i wouldn't risk it as that psu has failed some tests i recommend you get this instead it's better and has a seven year warranty http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703028

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 680 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 680 SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum. If you are going to overclock the GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
