Hello my fellow comrades, i have just a question, which PSU should be better for the GTX970 SLI? Corsair 860W AX-860 or EVGA 850w Supernova G2?

And if you can find any other options with similar prices i would apreciate it. i can as well post my rig so you can have a better perspective of what i have in order the achieve the full potential of my rig

So, green light to EVGA? Is there any other option with 850w or that PSU IS the PSU?

I probably won't go a 3-way or 4-way SLI so 2 GTX970 should be enougn for quite a few years (i really hope), therefore i won't have any problems with power consumption right? Even though using the Corsair H100i.

i am OCing my I5-4690k 3.5Ghz to 4.6Ghz having 35º-45ºC 54ºC (MAX. just playing Witcher 3 at Ultra) with Core Voltage at 1.250v am i doing things right? Just want to make sure i'm buying a good source to hold that performace. sorry for any inconvenience or redundacy.
 


Yeah, 1.25v sounds pretty decent. Most 4.5-4.6ghz 4690k's I've seen are between 1.19-1.25v.
