You need something of about 1000W with 6x 6pins.
See the PDF at the top of this linked page for SLI certified power supplies.

A GTX470 has about the same power draw at 215W as a GTX570 (219W). A 560ti draws 170W or 210W for the LE.
Look down the 3way GTX470 column for candidates.
There are a number of 1000W and 1200W units there.
