ok...and the only reason i liked that one was it was completely modular....and obviously that it was 1000 watts..but i really do not want to have a rats nest of cords in my case..so im sure there is another PSU that is well worth getting... |

ALSO!!!...i know that one of these cards running at full load is around 378 watts so im guessing if you run two of em....multiply that by two and thats the number of wattage that the vid cards are producing....so im guessing 1000 watts would be more than enough for what im running.. |

give yourself some protection and buy 1000w with really strong amps on your 12v rails. alittle bit of security goes a long way...ive seen psus explode... |
