Hi all.

I've had a mid end gaming PC for around 3 years now. I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to a GTX 970 next week, however I'm thinking that I'll need to upgrade my power supply. I would like to future proof as I'm planning more upgrades later this year so I would like to just bung the power supply in now and make sure it's got enough power later on.

Now I'm running.

Intel I5-3570K 3.40GHZ
ASUS P8H61 Motherboard
8GB DDR3 Ram (1 stick)
Nvidia GTX 660
SATA 500GB HDD
400W PSU

As I said I'm going to upgrade to a GTX 970 next week, and would like to have the option to run a second in the future if need be, I would also like to add at a later date a 1TB hard drive and possibly a SSD and possibly upgrade the CPU + mobo.

I'm looking at a 750W PSU but will that be able to handle running two graphics cards down the line, or should I just go out, spend the extra and get an 850W?

Thanks.
