my pc spec is

cpu:amd fx 8350 turbo 4.2ghz (would it bottle neck with my crossfire gpus?)
gpu:crossfire sapphire r9 280x oc
mb:sabertooth 990fx r2.0
ram:g.skill 4x4gb
case:CMstorm enforcer (CM 2x 120mm red led)
cpu cool: corsair h80 liquid cooling
hdd:1x 1tb and 1x 500gb seagate

the truth is i dont know if i just need 750w or 850w for my pc but anyway. (is 750w enough or i really need 850w?)

i am deciding if i would buy Seasonic (X850) X-series, 850watts 80Plus Gold or Corsair RM 850watts (RM850M) 80Plus Gold, Fully Modular (which is cheaper than seasonic by a little)

i need advice thanks

I think 850W would be a good idea to be safe and allow some room for OC

I think I would go the corsair RM series, It is a very reliable quiet PSU

Although on a side note, please....why the AMD CPU. The rule is, if you can afford intel, get it.

Also you would be better off going 2*8 ram I think

Get the Seasonic unit, Corsair RM-series units use bad capacitors that might cause issues in the future.

Never heard of that but you probably know what your talking about, don't mind me

edit: just looking at your build, we have the same CPU cooler which was cool but anyway, why 1000W for a single 760...lol

Yeeeah, all I can say is that I was looking for a 750-850W unit for future overclocking and SLI, and that one was on sale. If I would've been smarter back then, I would've gotten a 750W XFX, but oh well...
