need help with sli for gtx 760

[Dking25]

so i might get another 760 cheap off ebay, and plan to sli it, it wont be the same brand or clock speed but will have the same chipset. i might need a new power supply, what do you recommend. also will i have any problems with the Mobo i have? also by have 2 760 what gpu power am i close to like 780? or higher?

Mobo- GIGABYTE 970A-UD3P AMD970

8 Gb ram

gtx 760 zotac amp (current GPU)

windows 8.1 pro

CPU - FX-6300

PSU- 550W xfx-tsa55

at the most, the gtx 760 uses 155 watt, and you can double that with two cards. But I am worried that your cpu is going to bottleneck the gpus. The FX 6300 is not really a strong cpu, you could always overclock though. If you decide to SLI, I would go for a 750w power supply like this one http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431708324&sr=8-1&keywords=SuperNova+G2

Your mobo do not support SLI & your PSU can't handle a 2x 760 + FX 6300. i will always say, x1 high end GPU is better than 2x low end!

hmm, guess i clicked on the wrong link on google then. I agree there is no point in running two cards if you need a new mobo as well. Better to save up for a proper systems upgrade, because the fx 6300 will bottleneck the gtx 970. Which is what I would go if you wanted to upgrade from the 760, as the gtx 960 isn't really a huge upgrade compared to the 760.

sorry i forgot to say that i did overclock the cpu from 3.5 to 4.3GHz, what do you mean my mobo wont support sli?

Your motherboard only supports AMDs version of SLI, Crossfire. Meaning you can't use multiple Nvidia cards on your motherboard.
