Hey I recently bought a GTX 580 with a Corsair HX750 PSU. I am now interested in buying a Dual GTX 680. I was wondering if this Dual graphic card can be more than compatible for my PSU.

PS: Which GTX 680 version should i buy to give me maxed out graphics?
 
here's what nVidia says:

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-680/specifications

Maximum Graphics Card Power - 195 watts
Minimum System Power Requirement - 550 W

That's 745 watts total

here's what Guru3D says:

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.
