Hi,

Im in the process of building a gaming, development and video editing RIG, I have a few components currently and am looking to get the others next week. I will be getting a PSU next week as well. I was surfing some websites and came across some PSU calculators. I inputted my system and it gave me wildly different outputs, I would like a bit of human advice.

The Specs:
4930k (Eventually OC to around 4.4)
ASUS Rampage 4 extreme black edition (With OC Panel)
H100i CPU Cooler
32GB 4x8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum
3 HDD (1x5200RPM, 2x7200RMP)
2SDD
1 PCI-E SSD
CD ROM RW
Eventually some LEDs and a Corsair Commander

Now the GPU, I was entering the 780TI, however I am waiting for the 880. I will be picking up one to start and picking up another a month after to SLI them together.

Here is where the PSU calculators where getting me, one was saying i only needed approximately 780 watts while another was saying about 2700 watts. I was first going to pick up a AX 1200i from corsair but eventually thought a AX860 would do fine, however with these varying results i don't know which one to pick.

Can you recommend one that will suffice?

I knew that would be well off. Ive done the basic calculations by myself and I knew that was very wrong. It was Newegg's calculator.
