Will the PSU support 2 GPUs? Also, are the cables long-ish?

Only the 750 Watt model comes with 4 8-pin PCIE connectors for GPUs. If you purchase lower than 750 Watt, you will need to use adapters to connect for 6 or 8-pin PCIE connectors.

It depends on what kind of GPUs you'll be using. I tried to push two GTX 780's, and it wasn't enough for benchmarking. It ran for regular games, but you really want more headroom so you're not pushing your power supply so hard.

Yes, there are enough to have 2 GPUs and the cables are usually long enough to get around the chassis to the cards.

The wattage depends on what you are currently configured with. You can use Pcpartpicker.com to help determine it. I do recommend this PSU because of it being modular and also supports my two 650ti boosts in SLI. Power cords are long and thin so you can easily manage the cables to be nice and tidy.

You can just use the two 8 pin PCIe power connectors. My GPU was clocked at 1080 GHz. I've read that there is another 290x Lightning, possibly distributed in Europe, that is clocked at 1050 GHz.

Yes, you will. It has all 4 power cables required to plug in 2 high end cards

I don't use dual graphics card setup,however I am 100% sure it supports it. This PSU comes with 4 PCI-E connectors. Two of them are single 8-PIN connectors and the other two are dual 8-PIN connectors. It is safe to assume it also supports 3-way crossfire or SLI.

I'd get over 1000 watts if I had that gpu, and yes you'll need two separate cords

I mean, it would run with two 780's... but the secondary PCIe slot is not a full speed slot, plus this board is from the GTX 600 series / AMD HD7000 series era so I'm inclined to say no. It would work, but your second 780 wouldn't see its full potential on only an 8X/4X slot. If you're going to spend that much money for two 780's, I'd get a board that is specifially designed for crossfiring high-end cards, where both PCIe bays can reach full 16X speed. This isn't what I'd call a high-end board.

I have an 800watt psu powering the 760 and an additional 560 I have sitting as a physx card. so with just one 760 you should be fine.

The GTX 970 wants at least a 500W PSU, but I've never had it draw that much power, You should be fine, but you might want to be on the safe side and go up to the 500W

That would definitely be enough for 2 or 3 of these cards in Crossfire. 3 might be pushing it depending on the rest of your rig. I would suggest googling power supply calculator and checking your build if your are going with 3 cards.

I believe so, my setup has one single cable that has a seperate 6 pin and a 2 pin connector. You connect them together to make (one) 8 pin connector. Also the adapters are included to power your gpu with a standard molex adapter. So you should be good to go

Oh with absolute ease, Yes! The 970 card itself draws about 135W, with a max margin consideration of about 250W. You could run two of those cards with little too no problem at all, depending on your other specs. 1 will be an easy job for the PSU.

Depending on what else you have, and if you over clocking your CPU or the GPU it won't work. 750W is your best bet. I'm stuck in the same boat as you cause I'm trying to buy two but it won't work but I'm not trying to buy another PS

The single slot GPU does NOT use extra power (harness) from the PSU. It works strictly from the mobo power. Your 500 watt PSU is going to work just fine....

I bought a modular power supply, and it worked just fine. I had a pretty sizeable GPU and then replaced it with another, shorter, one, but both setups were fine.

Comes with lots of cables. You should not have any issues. This ps is used to power a system with 3 hard drives, blu ray drive and 4 (yes 4) Nvidia GTX 580 video cards.

It should be plenty...look at power connections on this card: I think this one has two 8-pin receptacles. On your power supply, you'll need two 8-pin power connectors for each card.

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.
