    Default PSUs and Crossfiring cards.

    At the moment I have a Gigabyte 1gb 9800GTX+ and a Corsair 520 watt modular power supply.
    Soon I may be getting 2 5770's for free and I was wondering if 520 watts will be enough juice for 2 cards to run on, your opinions?

    Depends what PSU (Corsair has usually good ones so I'd guess thats good) and what other components you have installed in your PC.
    I'd say it'll do just fine.

    Also, you slag for having GPU's for free.

    It's a Corsair 520watt, you should have no trouble (providing it has two 6 pin GPU connectors). I ran a Nvidia card that said it required a 550watt PSU on my 400watt Corsair. Someone I met on a forum said he ran a GTX260 on a 450watt Corsair PSU. Unless you have a CPU that takes 100watts+ I don't think you'll have a problem.

    Yep, it'll run those fine. What are you doing with your GTX? *hint hint*

    Looks like you've got yourself an easy burglary, providing you want to fly to England.

    Keep your 9800 as a physx card maybe... ... you'll most likely need a new PSU if you decide to let the buyer down...
