Corsair HX850 Enough For Triple SLI?

[chrisandrewca]

Hi, I love my PC and I'm looking to make it just a little bit better. I'm considering purchasng a 3rd MSI NGTX460 Hawk.

I'm running:
MSI NGTX 460 (2 in SLI + OC)
Core I7 950 OC 4.2GHz
Couple HDD's in Raid 0 (Might purchase 2 SSD's)

Will my 850w PSU be enough to handle it? I read in another forum said Triple SLI 570's would be ok with this same PSU but I'm not sure because of my overclock. Also if anyone can chime in, is it worth it do go Triple GPU if the PCI-E slots will run x16/x8/x8 instead of x16/x16?

Can GTX 460's do tri-sli? Or are you looking to add a third for PhysX?

You can't do tri-SLI with GTX460 cards since they only have 1 sli connector.
