    I would like to know if 600w psu by thermaltake is enough for my build.

    Asus p8z68-v pro
    I7 2600k sandy bridge
    x2 nvidia geforce GTX 460(havnt bought the 2nd yet, omw to get it.. I do alot of rendering gaming and apps up at once.. Is this enough gpu to do so?)
    x2 Corsair vengeance 8g(total) 1600 ram
    My psu is 600w thermaltake.. Just got everything in, but wanted to make sure before I start the build, also wanted to know if the graphics card is enough.

    You may be fine but I would go with 750W since you have SLI, and you never know if you will want to OC or add more hard drives.

    It shouldn't be much more.
