Whats the recommended power supply for a gamer pc with sli?

i have a amd athlon 6000+, 8800gts 512 mb, im going to get a good motherboard so i plan on overclocking alot. and i am probably going to go sli. will a oczstealthxstream600 watt power supply be enough for all this or should i get a 700 watt oczstealthxstream. Whats the recommended power supply for a gamer pc with sli?700 watt OCZ GameXStream Power Supply (NVIDIA SLI-Ready) is approved for Dual 8800gts 512MB.



700 watt oczstealthxstream - no such power supply

500 - 600 watt oczstealthxstream are not approved.Whats the recommended power supply for a gamer pc with sli?Hey there!



Your 600W power supply might seem like a beast right now, but after some overclocking and the addition of another graphics card, your power supply is going to run out of juice very quickly!



So I would recommend you bump it up to about 800W or over, because your 600W would simply not cut the mustard! And to be sure to choose ones that have an efficiency level of 80 PLUS, that means it can convert 80% of its electricity for your computer.



I hope this helps!
