I am a huge Battlefield Fan and as of now my system just doesn't seem to be as smooth as I want it to be in BF4. My System atm is i7 920 OC 3.8 HT ON, 6970 OC (Arctic Cooler), M4 SSD, 750 OCZ Fatality PSU, Gigabyte ux58-ud5, and 12 GB 1333mhz RAM (Also have 1TB WD Black, SATA Raid card, ASUS Xonar DGX, Corsair h80, and a Crappy 500gb HD. My CPU is old but it doesn't seem to be holding me back. I think I can get around 150-200 for my 6970 and I am looking at getting (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...) x2 SLI. What will be my power requirements for both of these and my current system.

Thanks

single 780 would be better (no sli problems) and about the same price without the thermal and noise issues that plauge SLI.

I'd also suggest you wait for non-beta as the beta is old and not fully optimised, and with R9 round the corner there may be nvidia price drops.

Well... If you are in the BF 4 Beta then the Beta sucks and everyone has bad frame rates, but for the PSU just get like a Thermaltake TR-2 700 watt or any corsair PSU. Around 600-700 watts should be plenty. Otherwise your computer looks perfectly fine. DON'T GET THE 760 4 gig, save your money espescially if your SLIing them.

I was looking at the R9 cards and they don't really seem to be too different. I understand bf4 is in beta but even soo my 6970 is getting old.
