these are the parts for my custom pc:

GPU:Asus raedon r9 295x2
Monitor:LG 34um95 34" 3440x1440
Storage:1tb ssd(primary) 1tb hdd(secondary)
Motherboard:Asus rampageIV black edition
RAM: 32gb crosair vengence ddr3 sdram
processor:Intel core i7-3960 extreme edition

i intend on exploiting the overclocking possibilities provided by the rampageIV and the processor so i just wanted a clear cut answer of what kind of power supply im going to need to run this particular setup without any perfomance issues :) 

Thanks in advance

Well with that kind of system I would most likely suggest something in the 1000W 80+ Gold (from a reputable brand, Corsair, Antec, etc.) range if you plan to do alot of Overclocking this will also give you some headroom. The other thing is that that 295x2 also requires a power supply with a very high 12V SINGLE RAIL Amperage Rating which is the most important thing to look at.

Both the 1000G2 & 1300G2 are made by Super Flower, The Rolls Royce of power Supplies.

Thanks your reply helped me a lot.I looked at some at few 1000w 80+gold from few reputable brands but i still cannot decide which power supply i need to use.given below are some of the power supplies from reputed brands:

1.http://www.corsair.com/en-ca/rm-series-rm1000-80-plus-g...
2.http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/127-hale90-v2-1000w-...
3.http://raidmax.com/psu/rx_1000ae.html
4.http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=704514&fid=343&lan=...

I have no budget problem whatsoever so i would really appreciate it if you could just recommend for me the best power supply from the 4 given above.Oh and i also want to know whether or not all 4 of these will be compatible with the pc i am about to build. :)

Well absolutely do not use the raidmax you need a single rail power supply I cannot find information on the Nzxt however it is not a brand of power supply I would use.

Honestly I would just choose either the Antec or Corsair Based on your own personal preference they are both capable of what you need.
