Shopping for computer parts and was wondering if the coolermaster vanguard 750w power supply is good enough to run 2 gtx970's.

Not a huge fan of Coolermaster PSU's. 750w I'd say is overkill. You really shouldn't need more than 550w if you're running nvidia 9xx.
I'm sure there are cheaper/better units. XFX 550w ought to do fine.Gaming: Dual Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 1400mhz + Blue Orb | Asus CUV266-D | GeForce 2 Ti + ZF700-Cu | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 | Whistler Build 2267

yeah i've heard that coolermaster psu's can be not exactly good but i have heard the vanguard does not actually suck. Unfortunately for me the computer store i buy parts from doesn't exactly stock many other options that arent $260+ instead of $130. yay for being australian i suppose.

I'll just add that barely any PSU brands actually make their own PSUs. Antec seem to primarily use Delta and Channel Well, both of which I really wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy, however the one you've linked is a Seasonic which is fine.
