sufficient psu needed for evga gtx 760 sli?

[Renz Miranda]

is it risky to have a 600 psu on an active gtx 760 sli....i was thinking of buying this machine

however, even if i'm no computer expert, i can predict that the extra psu left is too little thus i think. it would later produce a negative side effect on this type of machine....

what would be the best solution for this?

P.S i don't have extra money for buying a new psu right now, not until in the next 2 mos.

do you think this system will survive that long w/o any problems at all? i mean like heat and stuff?

it really depends if it's a good branded PSU which can easily run 600W continuous. That rig will typically take up to 400W stock with intense gaming, more when benchmarking. If it's a rubbish PSU, it'll be pushing it.

But if it's a case of using it for a few months until you get a better PSU, then go for it. Plug in a wattmeter and make sure you don't go beyond 350W say, during regular use.
