i would go with the 1200, with your CPU, and 3 7970 you will be around 950 watt not including everything else to a 1200 should do, if you could list all your specs i could help more

EDIT: With the mobo the Watt is 1060

Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). On average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to higher CPU clock settings, water-cooling, additional cold cathode lights etc."
