You never know what new games will demand. I'm not current at all with the new stuff, so I don't know if this applies.
My I7 build is 3 years old, and I started with single GTS 250. And a Corsair 650w.
Might have been overkill, can't remember my calcs then. I know I never intended to run SLI.
Recently I started playing Borderlands, and wanted PhysX, so I turned i on. Dogged the fps.
My son had a spare GTS 250, so we put that in and dedicated it to PhysX. Plays fine with all effects.
Don't think I could have done it if I had low-balled the PSU on the build.
