Hi!

 

I'm wondering if my HX 650 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012) will be able to run gtx 770 SLI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127741).

I've noticed that my psu only has 2x8PIN connectors but that only 6 wires are connected to those 8 pin connectors on the psu.

 

And if it would not be possible to run two gtx770 off of the HX650 wich PSU would be the best one to replace it? (preferably not to highly priced, I'm still a student)

 

 

Thanks!

It can run but there isn't a lot of headroom.

770 SLI would use no more than 500W, leaving only 150W for the CPU and other components. As WoodenMarker said, it doesn't leave much headroom.
