Combining 2 GPU's question

[Kyriakos]

Hello.

I am getting new components for my PC and I want to connect my new Asus GTX760 with my old Gainward GTX650. But I don't know if my Corsair Builder Series CX750M PSU can handle them! ( Mobo: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming ,cpu :i5-4690k) Help please!

If you mean run them in SLI, it cannot be done. SLI requires two same models with the same vram to run in SLI.
I would simply just connect the GTX 760 in the first PCIE x16 slot where the old GTX 650 was.
You could run the GTX 650 as a Physx card if you wanted to.

Yeah I didn't mean in SLI!

You would just put the GTX 760 in the first PCIE x16 slot and the GTX 650 in the next available PCIE x16 slot. You would need to connect the power cables from the power supply to both of the gpu. You need to fill all the PCIE power slots on both cards.
You then install the latest Nvidia drivers after booting up. In the Nvidia Control panel, you should get the option to configure the GTX 650 as a Physx card but it may be automatically done for you.

Will my PSU handle both of them though? That's my real question. Thanks for the answers!

Yes it should be ok even though Corsair CXM 750 is an average psu.
