Hello all, I just finished my first ever gaming PC build and I'm a little bit of a newb about some things. I currently have 2 Asus swift monitors and I'm running a single evga 980 Superclocked. I'm wanting to add a third swift so I can play surround. Will I be good with running 2 way SLI with another 980 SC or will I need 3? Also my power supply is a corsair 1200 and I'm wondering do I have enough for what I'm trying to run. Here's a list of my full set up. Thanks for any help guys. This is my first post so if I'm in the wrong area please don't be toxic just redirect me. Thanks again.

Solution
You can easily run a 2-way sli setup with two gtx 980's with a 1200w psu. You could easily run 3 cards if you really want to but you don't have to.
