That model # sounds like a raidmax psu. If so, I will have to say don't get it!!!

The stats look good but they aren't to be believed if it is a raidmax.

700 watts should be plenty from a good brand psu like antec,seasonic,corsair,xfx,pc power&cooling.

It wouldn't hurt to go 750-800watts just to be a little safe fore possible additions later
i.e. more hard drives,led's,peripherals etc...

It is a coolermaster GX series

And indeed a bigger one wouldn't be a bad idea but in was wondering if it would be possible to run 2 way sli with this power supply

Coolermaster does not have good repute either with psu's. I would consider one of the brands I listed above^

Coolermasters are known to some on here as CrapperMaster because of their tendency to take a crap on you...

A good brand psu with the specs that your cm has will indeed sli your cards... The cm will probably do it, but I wouldn't guarantee how long it will work, and I wouldn't trust the safety of my expensive components to it...

then i gues waiting until i throw in a new mobo cpu and gpu in 2 or 3 years and then buy a good psu will be the best option, at the moment i aint drawing it full power so for my current setup it is fine. thanks for the info on the good brands

If you use part picker then it tells you the watts needed. It's a good tool for custom PC building.

With this build you will be using about 557 Watts and your PSU with 88% efficiency will likely put out around 616 Watts maximum, realistically you'll only be getting about 580-610 Watts, so you should be fine. If you want to put in every one of your parts manually then that would probably be best.

Thanks for the tip i already have the sabertooth 3770k amd 680 running for 2 months they perform fine so it was enough power was build by a pccompany called gamepc they test all setups, will check my voltage, tough they told it was comparable with a regular 1000 watt psu

Look at the Seasonic 750-AM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107 It is a very strong PSU and will be able to last a long time.
