I doubt you would need anything more than 600 watts unless you wanted to overvolt it very heavily.

The 600w will most probably power the sli rig under all normal circumstances but it could overheat and shutoff under heavy benchmarking like running prime95 and furmark simultaneously. I would try running with the 600w PSU first and only upgrade if you have issues or notice the PSU cooking (they tend to start smelling kinda like frying dust when close to overloading tongue.gif).

While 600 Watts should be sufficient for that setup, your 600W unit isn't a particularly brilliant one, you might want to step it up quality wise.

The Strider Plus 750W is a very good unit, here's another one, at an excellent price too.
