Hi,
I have the following system :
PSU : CM 620W
Case CM Sileo 500 (1 fan on the back and 1 on the front)
1x DVD-CD/RW Reader
MSI Z97 MPOWER
I7 4790K @4.4GHz + Noctua NH-D14 and its 2 fans
EVGA GTX 660 FTW ACX 2GB
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance PRO 1866MHz
2x500gb Seagate Barracuda 7200rmp
1 frontal panel : 2xUSB | audio and mic jack | e-sata
I'd like to know if with my actual PSU i can add another EVGA GTX 660 for a 2 way SLI.

It's not the greatest quality wise , but it should be able to power the 660's.I've calculated around 600W based on my normal use (eXtreme outer vision psu calculator), i was just worried becasue i'm too close to its 620W capacity, even thought i seen that it can actually max up to 700W as declared by Cooler Master.
Just in case the PSU won't handle the new load, do i risk any damage to my pc components?
Well... technically, it has sufficient specs for 2 x 140W cards and the 88W CPU. It should work OK. It's still a bit light for efficiency tho. But you can use it.
I'd pick up a kill-a-watt meter and set it for watts. See if you go past 500W (~80% power) when the system is stressed. If you do, it will be time to think about upgrading the PSU.

You can find them in most hdwr. stores too.
