Your PSU will easily handle it. You will see about 20% performance boost in certain applications. Is it worth the money? Only you can answer that.

Your PSU will be able to handle the second card more easily. I don't know the specs of your motherboard( don't have time atm to look them up ) but you may want to check what speed your PCIE x16 ports will run at of you install 3 cards as this will be a contributing factor in Determining how much your graphics cards can actually do. As Ubrales said " is it worth the money? Only you can answer that "

Hey,
What are you playing? And at what resolution? Just out of curiosity. Thats a lot of hardware!

is it worth it for the money? Absolutley Not... Is it something you can run in your system...Yes if you are playing on a single display it is a monumental waste of money imo, however im not here to tell you what to spend you money on but that is my opinion... Id rather upgrade my motherboard and cpu in a few months with that cash 2 6970s gives huge performance as it is
