hey all i have an i5 2500k z67 mobo and corsair 750m psu fractle r4 mini case and gtx 780 with 8 gig ramm 120gb ssd and a 1tb hdd..now ive decided i want to sli my 780s but im not sure if i will need a new psu or not..i went on part picker and they estimated my total wattage at 704watts.so is my 750 ok do you think or should i buy a 850psu..i have a few things hooked up to pc like racing wheel pedals etc so not sure if this adds to the wattage.so is my corsair 750 m gonna do the job? cheers all.
 
the cx750m is rated for 744w on the +12v rail. I think it will run your 780s in SLI, but as badboyrog said you should definitely look at upgrading it, I wouldn't like to think of you running that setup long term with a CX in there (it's a cheap CWT made power supply, poor soldering and didn't even pass the hot testing on Jonnyguru)

In my opinion an XFX 750W or a Seasonic 720W power supply should do the job!
