If it's the EVGA 600B then get it out of there. 650W is also the recommended minimum with 750W being the recommended maximum. Check out the PSU whitelist in my sig for some decent PSUs.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

It is the 600B. What's wrong with the B series? Shit quality? Recommendations?

Poor build quality for an SLI build. EVGA's 650W/750W G2/GS/B2 are better options as well as this Antec which is going for pretty cheap currently http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg750m

Barely but I would grab a higher wattage PSU just in case.

Or do the LMG fix and mount some cheap $1 Craigslist PSU somewhere in the case and have it power one of the 970's lmao.

600W is tight, the B-series make it even tighter. Get a decent 650W.

There is a point where spending tons of money on a PSU to get dem watts is pointless, especially when said watts won't be utilized.
