2 9600gt in sli

[DieHard007]

going to try sli with 2 9600gt's and like to find out if my 550watt psu will be ok for them are am i going to have to fork out more money for a bigger psu.

Should be enough.

I have a Antec SP 2.0 500Watt and am also going to go 9600gt sli but I'm going to get a new PS before I do that don't risk it.

Throwing out random wattages is meaningless. What is the make and model of the PSU? How many rails? What amps does it support per rail? A *good* 500W PSU is more than enough for a normal 9600/8800 SLI rig.

that will be fine for 2 9600gt. i am running 9600gt sli with a 520 corsair.

Yes also what else is running in the rig, 1 HDD or 4 etc. The required recommended wattage is a system wide "rough guide".

Yeah, you have to give a detailed list of whats all in your box.
because with a quad 8 gigs and 6 hard drives, then you'd be asking for trouble.
Best bet, post what you got going on, and post a link to newegg of the mfgr. so we can see the specs.

You should post a link to the PSU you are looking at and have someone tell you if it is a good model or not. Then again, you could always go to the Power Supply forum and read around a bit. I can bet most people will tell you to get the Corsair 520hx, though.
