Two things:
First, I'm looking for a last general checkup from someone with more knowledge than me to make sure everything looks alright since I made a few more implementations. Goals with this build are to be able to play games on high/ultra for a couple years at least (hopefully), and to have the leg room to be able to play around with OCing a bit.
Plus I need advice specifically about the power supply. In the future when GTX 780s drop in price a bit, I'd like to be able to get another and put that SLI functionality to use. The problem is, when I do, the recommended wattage jumps to 725. Furthermore, since I also want to play around with OCing the CPU, I'm afraid this will also pop the wattage up a bit more past that 725 mark. Even though I won't be buying the second card for probably another year, I'd like to be prepared with a PSU that can handle it. And on a similar note, does anyone know, if a card (like the GTX 780 for instance) is described as requiring 250W, is that how much it consumes under normal loads, or the maximum it can exert under stress, or an average of the two?
Thanks!
