and some overclocking on gpu and cpu in future what psu would you suggest for this im looking at a silverstone 1000w 80+ silver psu atm that is pretty cheap its 157€ only 2€ more then the 850W model so would this fit my needs and leave some headroom?

I can say that this GPU leaves nothing to be desired from personal experience. It keeps all the voltages extremely stable and makes no noise at all while doing so. As far as cable management goes, it has really easy cables to handle. It also has a single 80A 12V rail, which means it will not run out of power any time soon, even with 3 GPUs.

Yeah sorry I'm really tired and I meant PSU :D

Yes I own it and I honestly have nothing bad to say about it. I'm not using it to it's full potential though, but here's some figures on it's behavior under loads of stress: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/3578/silverstone_strider_plus_st1000_p_1000w_modular_power_supply/index5.html

so what psu would you suggest that is in the same price range a little more or less wont matter but still pretty close to 150 euros and i want a 1000w one for headroom even when i may be fine with a good quality 850w one but i think the silverstone 1000w one is a good and they have good psu i had the 500w one before i changed to my thermaltake one i have listed when i got myself the 7970 card and needed more wattage

If you don't own an oscilloscope you wouldn't even know. That's why a complete test review is better than an incomplete one like TweakTown's.

still even if the 5v and 3.3v is not the best ones out there it is still a very solid psu is it not? and should fit all my needs and leave good headroom?

i am open to pick a other one if you think its really bad i just overall think this is a good one and will fit all my needs for now and future

Well they still rated the PSU 8.5 and 9 out of 10. And both of those sources say the 12V rail is very good quality and does very well under heavy loads, which is essentially what we're looking for here since GPUs use that rail.

GPUs also get some (i.e. less than 9.9 Watts) of their power from the +3.3V rail through the PCI Express slot.

So you're ordering from Jimm's pc store then? I ordered mine from there and would recommend you to do the same.

You can only get the other suggestion from systema store in Finland :\
