So I'm sitting on a single GTX760 with a 650w PSU, and I wish to buy another 760 and install it. I've looked at all kinds of reviews and such and obtained rough estimates on my PC's current draw versus the draw of the added GPU, and I guess I just wish to know for certain before purchasing anything. Specs are as follows (currently):

i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
16GB DDR3 @ 800 MHz
Asus Z87 Plus Mobo
2GB EVGA GTX760
128GB SSD
Two regular SATA disks
DVD-RW and a Blu Ray Burner as optical drives
Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card
Two 1080p monitors
Mouse/Keyboard
Wifi PCI-e card
Corsair TX650 PSU

And that seems about it. Thanks in advance for any quick help on the matter.

Give it an extra 100 watts. XFX do a 750 watt model that is good value.

Mm, I was prepared to get at least 750 if I wasn't gifted with a decent answer that made my mind up. While I have you, any other manufacturers you'd recommend beyond XFX? And is it worth worrying about 80+ certs and such?

XFX make very high quality units, uses a Seasonic platform. And no, as long as the OEM is fine (Seasonic, Super Flower, Delta etc.) then there's no need to worry. Though if you want to save money, I would go for a Gold rated unit or higher.

Copy that, I'll have a look where I usually shop. Thanks for the help.
