Im going to upgrade to a single 970 soon, but i would like to know if there is headroom for a 2-way SLI in the future...
CURRENT SPECS:
CPU: i5 4670K
MOBO: GA-Z87x UD3H
SSD:Corsair Force GS 240GB
PSU: Corsair RM650m
CASE FANS: Fractal silent series r2 140mm X3
CPU COOLER: Coolermaster 240 Evo
Even though the wattage seems sufficient under stock speeds i hear there might be an issue with the Amperage my PSU can handle?

Or you can get a 650 for $99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
As I said -
You need to get a good quality 750W PSU for 2 x gtx970's. From tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...
eg Seasonic M12II 750 $95 at Newegg

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/nvidia_geforce_gtx...pretty dangerous stuff imho, 274w per card at full load, not to mention you'll be adding stuff up and then oc'ing that k processor to hell.
what are you talking about? visit Nvidias webpage each GTX970 consumes 145watt at factory settings. As for the K i picked it up on a sale when it was even cheaper than the non-K variant, its not that i need to OC or anything. Same goes for the gpus, i game on a 1080p anyway so all i care about is future proofing, i don't think i ll ever need to OC gpu/gpus either.
