I need some help from you guys, I don't really trust these PSU calculators I think they're bunk I had 1 tell me I needed 530watts and 2 others say 680watts, and 760watts.
I literally just bought an i7 Haswell unlocked CPU
MSI Z87 MPOWER LGA 1150 Intel Z87
XFX CrossFire Bridge Model MA-AP01-CF1K,
GIGABYTE GV-R775OC-2GI Radeon HD 7750(I already had 1 wanted to crossfire instead of upgrading) Oh these GPU's have a large fan and tend to block another slot is there any kind of adapter that can help conquer this issue?
CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 8gb stick(I have 4x4GB already figured sticking with same style and switching 1 4GB out would be ok)
3HDD 1-T 7200,
1 ext. 3-T hdd, 64 gb cache drive
Windows 8
it came stock
I use a HDTV as my display
my PSU is 600watt Ultra LS ATX
Its already got the extra cables for crossfire.
I'm planning on teaming 2 ethernet cards as well.
Is that going to be good enough to drive my new rig? I've been going back and forth on whether I should or NEED to upgrade my PSU. I do like a little bit of head room by about 100watts "just in case" type of deal. I OC as well but not very often.
I use only HDMI cables for hook-ups and a Cat6e for my internet hook-up. I run everything through my receiver. except the Cat6 obviously. I don't care about optic drives, I don't use the sound-card because I have a 5.1 receiver set-up. I let my PC use as much power as it wants instead of "balanced" or "power-saver" modes. I don't know if this extra info. helps or not.
If you have any suggestions on my set-up to maybe make things run smoother I'm definitely willing to listen. I just got back into PC's over the last 12 months little by little now I'm a full blown addict. After an 8 year hiatus-I might add. Oh I was wondering if running the Intel Rapid Storage software was a good idea for me and should I use RAID0, or 1? I am currently using RAID0. I have LOTS of media and I only use c: for OS & for an organizational bench.

I apologize if I came off rude, I was trying to infuse a bit of light-hearted jokiness. OH I saw some haswell certfied ram?!? Am I going to have to basically re-do EVERTHING?
