You are pretty much covered for anything other than Quad SLI.

Yep. Your PSU is just fine for powering today’s Quad-GFX :thumbup: Look for yourself
In the future tho if the power intake keeps growing, you might have to upgrade or just buy one of those supplementary graphic PSUs like BoosterX 3, for instance.
