I think he is talking about power supplies not video cards tp95112 LOL :). My suggestion to the OP is that the 760i is enough power for you to add another 660ti to your rig. Only go with the 860i if you plan to add more HDD's and SSD's to your rig. I pretty sure the 760i could handle more HDD's and SSD's but the 860i just gives you more head room for adding more stuff to your rig

860t isnt even released or talked about atm and a 760ti would cost you more then just getting another 660ti.

760i is more than enough. the 860i is enough to run 2 gtx690 without a problem. so even the 760i is overkill.

The 760i would be a great fit for sli 660ti's. It allows enough headroom for some decent overclocking.

You could probably get away with a 650w PSU. Just curious - why the Corsair AXi series? Why not a Seasonic, Antec or Silverstone PSU?
I am not answering for him but I personally love corsair stuff and stick with them. I have been burned by others but that's just me. People tend to find brands they like and stick to them until a bad experience.

Just a particular SKU that i know is great. Any recommendations for a Seasonic PSU that is 80+ platinum in this price range?
