I'm still in the process of building a high end gaming desktop. I have the Thermal-take Chaser MLK Case. ASRock Extreme 4 Gen 3 Motherboard. Intel i7 2700k Sandy Bridge Processor. 16 gb of PC1600 Ram. 2.5TB of space with 1 - 2TB 7200 RPM HD and one older 600gb HD.
I'm currently using my old graphics card out of my old case the Asus GT 440 Graphics card. This Friday I'm going to be buy me a new graphics card and I'm wanting to make sure I get one that I can eventually SLI with an identical graphics card. I did alot of research and determined that I'm just going to stick with PCI 2.0 for now as the PCIE 3.0 doesn't seem to be worth buying a whole new processor for minimal performance upgrade.
I have the OCZ PSU Model # OCZ-ZT750W. On the +12V Rail it can handle a max load of 62 Amps.
I'm looking into getting the EVGA 012-P3-2066-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 448 Cores FTW 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card. On the power requirements it states that it requires 38 amps on the +12v Rail. I know this is probably a stupid question but it's been a very long time since I've ever built a computer ( roughly 10 years) so I just wanted to make sure whether or not my PSU would handle 2 of these cards. Obviously 38 x 2 is more than the max load of 62 Amps on the +12v rail however I didn't know if any of the other rails factored in somehow. I don't know a whole lot about PSU's and I'm still in the process of learning a little bit more about them but I thought for sure that I selected a pretty decent PSU figuring that 750W would be more than enough juice for this sytem.
My primary game of choice is World of Warcraft. I don't really play anything else aside from that. My wife plays The Sims 3 and that's about it. I know this graphics card might be a little over kill but I do really want to invest in some decent graphics. My budget is around $200-$300 per graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
