Hey guys I want to buy a new GPU (A second EVGA GTX 970) but I don't know if my power supply could handle it.

I have a DS Vanquish 3 with a Corsair CX600M PSU

Thanks, Saulio

For sli 970 I would want a 750 watt psu. You'd also want to make sure your motherboard is sli capable. What mobo do you have?

The 600 watt might do it, but its cutting it close. Since you have a 600w, you could try it and it might be fine.   If the rig starts crashing, bsod, rollovers then thats a sign the psu isn't enough.
