Is 650 enough for SLI action?

[Super_Tube]

Hi guys i want to upgrade a few components

 

My computer atm:

i7-4770k stock clock

msi z87-43

palit gtx 770 oc at 1254 mhz

phobya toch 6 fan controller

wlan pci card 300 mbit/s

1 lg bluray drive

1 tb hard drive
300 gb 10000rpm hard drive

corsair vs650

 

 

i want to upgrade to a second gtx 770 and have to upgrade my motherboard too

 

i came along with the msi z97-55 sli and a second gtx770

 

 

can i still use my 650w psu when i upgrade to sli or do i have to buy a new one?

 

and should i buy a 860w or pay 30€ more for the 1000w psu when i want to upgrade to costum watercooling in the future?

 

i hope you guys can help me with my problem and sorry for bad english but thanks anyway (:

You will probably never need 1000 unless you want like triple titans or something

 

I think 650 is cutting it fine, I would recommend the 860, should be fine

2 770's would use less than 500W. That still leaves some room for the CPU and other peripherals. It's doable, though it's probably just cutting it fine.

Wich PSU do you recommend guys and is it worth to pay 30€ more for the ax860 instead of the rm 850?

I have an RM850, and jonny guru gave it a really good score. I love the silent plan profile and mine has been nothing but amazing since i bought it

 

But if you can afford it the ax is better but that said the RM still has a 5 year warranty so corsair expect it to last you

Well...he bashed it pretty hard for the low quality components, but other than that it was a very good score.

It received a 9.2. It's good, but not great.

 

The RM Series isn't that impressive. The AX Series is definitely of higher quality. I don't want to hate on the RM Series too much -there's a reason they comes with a 5 year warranty. They're good enough. Is it worth 30€? If you're willing to pay more for a better unit then sure. It's up to you.

Yep.

 

I thought you meant GT650 for a moment
