I currently run a Mushkin 550 Watt Modular Power Supply, you can see the Power Specs here:

Anyway, I know the PSU has two 6-pin connectors, but I am not sure if it has enough juice to power two 9600GT's in SLI.

Can someone tell me if its enough or not? I am already thinking it may not be and I may buy a new 600-750 Watt in the future.

Thanks in Advance...

The total 12V output on the Mushkin is pretty low, I think a new PSU would be a good idea.

If you like modular, Corsair HX520; otherwise Corsair VX550.

With only 28A on the 12v rails, I'd probably get a newer PSU. Not sure 28A is enough for a 9600gt SLI setup, so the Corsair 550vx is a better option, if you can afford it. It's going for $70 after $15 MIR on Buy.com. It has 41A on the 12V rails and should handle the 9600gt SLI pretty easily.
