The reason I went with 2 PSU's is I already had a 500 watt to put on the PC. What it did was add 500 more watts to my PC.
Instead of have just 550 watts. I now have 1055 watts.

I would not have went to the store and bought a 500 watt PSU's to put on the PC.

The main point of this thread was to let people know that you can put 2 PSU's on your PC. And how.

Lets say you get a new GPU and have to upgrade your PSU. The GPU say's that the MIN is 550 watts for your new GPU. So, to save some money you get the 550 watt at less the $100 knowing that you already have, lets say 300 watt at home.

You add the new GPU and the 550 watt PSU with your 300 watt GPU.

Doing so gives you 850 watts. But you only had to buy 550 watts to upgrade you GPU.
The 850 watt would have cost around $143+ savings of $43 + tax. (Prices my vary)

We all know by now that CLoD is going to take a high end GPU to run the best.
The more power the GPU has to draw from the better.
