So I'm gonna be purchasing a new 780 and upgrading my PSU, and I want to be sure that my PSU will be able to handle things when I eventually upgrade to a second 780 and SLI. Just gonna list the major things that will be drawing power:
CPU - 3570k
MOBO - MSI Z77 MPOWER
5 System Fans
3 7200RPM Hard Drives
1 SSD
2 (Eventually) PNY XLR8-OC GTX 780
I was looking at getting this nice 850w Platinum ENERMAX but I wanted a second opinion. I've heard so many different opinions on wattage to get some say 850 is enough, others say a minimum of 1000w is recommended, so I'm a tad confused.
