Corsair AX 850w and 2 GTX 60X SLI

[irvinth]

I am planning to get a corsair ax 850w and 2 gtx 680 sli but the question is if the 850w psu is enough to hold off the dual gtx 680 because i read forums and some say it is enough and some say that its better to get a higher wattage psu
i plan to play crysis and other high end graphic games at max settings

My current specs are:
Intel core i7 980X 3.33ghz
GIGABYTE GA X58 UD3R
KINGSTON HYPER X 6GB RAM
WD CAVIAR BLACK 1.5TB
ATI RADEON HD 5870
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 CASE
COOLER MASTER 500W PSU (Came with the case)

though personally i would get 2 x gtx670

much cheaper but only a little slower--far more performance to price ratio
