I am about to building a desktop nearly. I already bought the most parts of them except PSU and cpu fan. My build is here:
gtx 780ti sli:

I7 4770k:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87:

Memory:

HHD:

SSD:

CD-ROM:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SUO068/ref=oh_deta...

The above is what I bought. So 1000w or 1200w psu for maximum use?
What brand' psu should I get? Also, recommended a cpu fan for me.
Thanks for answering:D

GeForce GTX 780 Ti - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

And cpu fan.

Btw. Did you buy sabertooth? Aus PRO is better and cheaper.
Gigabyte X-D3H is much cheaper and still good enough. UD3H is good for max OC.



Thanks for answering. So you mean 1000w are good enough to handle 2 gtx 780ti?

Yees. But if plan is OC them max out it needs 1000w or more. Or you are better with +1000w.
One GTX 780 can take 360w / card. (just pu) so two takes over 700w + cpu.
CPU do not take much if you do not OC but if you do.. So + 1000w is good choice.
Both are good so it is easy. Take what you have money for. It do not really matter is there 1000 or1300w.
Both will work :)  Nore is better :)  1000w is good 1300w is better :D

Well thanks a lot. So I think I should go for 1200w one. Actually, I already searched some 1200w psu; unfortunately Corsair AX1200i is out of stock. So does AX1200 and EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 good to use? What about others? Thanks.:D

Thanks a lot. AX1200i is available on amazon, and I just purchased it at once. It is expensive, but I already had a expensive build, so it should be worth it.

Cossie is good. Ax is maybe better than Axi. But both are not so reliable than rosewill are.
Rosewill is made by superflower andthey have really good1300w golden green.

This one. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=...

Rosewill and super flowerare better in reliability. But hey good pick :)  Good luck with your amazing fast build :)  lol
