Hi all. I'm currently running an i7 2600K with P8P67 Pro, 8GB DDR3 1600, SSD, HDD, and an EVGA 560 Ti. I've had some artifacting on the graphics card, which suggests I may have to RMA the card in the near future. I'm considering slow-boating the card during the RMA process, grabbing another from Amazon to get it quickly (love Prime) and eventually running the two cards in an SLI configuration when I get the replacement.
However, the PSU I have right now is an 620 HCG. As far as I can tell, I'm right on the cusp of being able to add the second card. Assuming I don't overclock, with no capacitor aging (PSU is less than a month old), it looks like I can run that with the PSU near capacity. Is that wise to do, or should I just spring for a 750 watt PSU to be safe? As a compromise solution, can I safely run it for maybe 6 months with the 620 and then upgrade near Christmas to a beefier supply?
Thanks for your help.
