Friend plays Condor 2 with one 970, added another 970, PC reboots when playing

Took the card out, still reboots, thinking PS crapped out ......

CPU is an later Intel, not sure what,

One site showed the below
.............................................................................................................
GeForce GTX 970 or 980 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 400~500 Watt power supply unit. GeForce GTX 970 or 980 in 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have an 700~800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

Each graphic card is different, and there are some versions where they are clocked higher and use more power. This site did a review on 970s in SLI, and showed this version pulling 326 watts, with a total system draw of 439 watts.

Plus, different cards have different power connections. The cards tested here use 2 x 6-pin per card. So you'd want a power supply that offered 4 GPU PCIe cables. For a PSU like the EVGA G3, you'd need to go with a 750w unit or higher, as the 650w version only has 3 PCIe connectors.
