hello , i was thinking about buying another 780 6gb to sli. Moving onto 1440p gaming pretty soon. when the new Asus ROG monitor comes out.

 

But idk if i will enough wattage to power up a SLi setup with my 750w PSU. and if its safe to come near the cap watts on your psu

 

I went to PCpartpicker to get a estimated wattage usage...  but feel kinda iffy about it being legit. help please ?

 

(idk if you can see my specs on my profile) i5 is @ 4.0ghz and 780 is just OC out of the box. idk if that makes a difference ?

estimated wattage = 693w

You'll be fine on 750 as long as no extreme overclocks

Until recently, I was running a 2gb evga 680 with my 27" IPS (1440p), running World of Tanks at ulra with no problems. I just switched to 2 EVGA dual Classified 780 ti's, in preparation for three ROG swifts...as soon as they come out. I've read conflicting reports as to whether my setup will run these monitors, so I'm a bit nervous.
