Need PSU advice for nvidia 570 & 260

[darkamulets]

Currently have a 650W Antec running my 260 with a quad core and a few drives without any problems. I also have an older probably 8300 to provide video for a 3rd monitor.

I'm looking to pull out that old 8300 and make the 570 my new primary card, I know both cards require quite a large amount of juice. My question is do I need to find a new PSU that will meet the power requirements for both cards full spec requirement plus left overs for the rest of the devices or can I just focus on the 38A for the 570? Would this be pushing me into a 700W+ PSU?

Err... I would not buy any of the PSUs linked. It's no wonder you have a 750w for your single 460...

Actually...if you're referring to robmysterx09's link, that company has some good, some crappy...The first GOOD one I saw was the NZXT HALE90-750-M. The NZXT Hale PSU's are very good units, and they have some good Antec units, some decent to mediocre PSU's and some terrible units...rather like Newegg and the other retailers.

Haha I only looked at the first page linked.

I ended up using that little PSU calculator that is floating around, it pointed to roughly 700W. I picked up the Thermaltake 700W, for the $100 kinda wish I had gotten modular plugs like my existing Antec.

Specifically: Thermaltake TR-700P TR2 BRONZE 700W since it has enough 6pin connectors for the video cards.
