Hi im going to be building a new computer within 2-4 weeks (waiting for my pay im only 15) my budget is around $500 aud.
I'm just using it for gaming and some editing software and i want this computer to last at least 3-5+ years

I'm willing to go over 500 around 700 is my max

I'm just using my previous GPU which is Gigabyte GTS450
Later when i save more money im planning to go SLI with two GTX560s
But is this setup alright or not if not can you please point me in the right direction


Total $617
 
The ModXStream 700W Pro isn't really a good choice for GTX560 SLI. This is because it only has 552W combined on its 12V rails, secondly because it only has two PCIe connectors; you would need one with four.
So either spend more and get one that will support it or save money by getting cheaper PSU that won't, but replace it when you have the money.

This is the cheapest high quality PSU on pccasegear that can support GTX 560 SLI:
