650w Antec High Current Gamer, any XFX, any Seasonic should be more than enough.

You will need more wattage to be safe. 650W will be enough if you want to get the 650W GS.

Thanks for answers, this seems to be asked quite frquently and most people say no or probably not.
I'll take the hint and not cheap out lol

550w for sli setup ? are you crazy ?

i would't go for anything less then 850w or 1000w

 

Not crazy, just broke lol

You'd be fine 550W SLIing a pair of 960s. You'd be fine on 970s I would think but I would not go below 650W. You do *not* need 1000W for two 970s....
