That is a great price for GTX560 Ti!
Aquality 750 watt PSU would handle two of those in SLI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341049

Of the power supplies the Seasonic is the best choice but also the most expensive so it will depend on what you want to spend.

Hows that for a GPU?

OP already found a GTX560Ti for $180 after rebate!

This one is EVGA. It's only 10$ more, under $200 and no rebates to deal with.

Up to the op of course. Whatever you get - it's going to be a good choice.

I certianly wouldn't get a Galaxy video card. I would spend the extra few dollars and get the card from a good quality card maker That gives the best warranty of anybody.

There is a performance difference between GTX560 and GTX560Ti to take into account as well!

Approx 10- maybe 15%. In most games that's usually about 5-10fps difference.

Take a look here for the charts:

I know that, my logic is 10-15% more powerful $10 cheaper after MIR makes it worth it for me!
(please don't bring up hassle with MIR, I have gotten hundreds of them and not one has failed!)

True that makes sense. I won't argue there.
