- gtx 760 evga acx
- msi b74ma-p45
- intel i5 3570K
- VS650 corasir
- cooler master k282

my specs i'm going to get:
- gtx 760 evga acx (X2) sli
- Z77A- g45 (so i can oc my cpu)
- intel i5 3570K
- psu......
- cooler master k282

System with 2 x 760 in SLI calls for 700 watts, would though probably run on your VS650 since they are always generous http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

I have used them adapters and no issues! Unstable would not be the adapter rather the PSU failing to supply enough power.
