First of all, you can run 3 way SLI with GTX460. 2 Way is max.

And for that, a quality 750W is more than enough.
You would only need 6 6pin pcie - most high end psu's have that - the Corsair TX950 that I had, had that setup, my HX1000 has 8 8pin... - and to the above poster,

if your running 2 way sli, youre using the 3rd 460 just like any other Phsyx card

Agreed - TX950, and you'll get full use of all its pci connectors!

My bad, all I saw was '3' and 'GTX460'..

The TX950 is a good for this scenerio maybe?

EDIT : As above poster mentioned..
A bit tired :/
I ran tri-sli 470's on a TX950, its what I would recommend, or a similar Antec, or Silverstone
thanks to all for your replies, im not woried about how much power, rather that i dont have to use those crappy molex addapters
3x460s........ well 2x460 you want a 600 watt psu....

so 3x i would say 750/800 would be plenty

since i ran 2x480s on a 750watt for 6 months with no dramas
I think people are just confused because OP uses ''3 way sli'' in the title.

Anyway,
Corsair HX850 (US$155) and TX950 (US$140) both have six 6+2-Pin PCIe connectors.
The former has modular design while the latter has more power.
