I will be getting an Alienware Area-51 7500 with 1 768MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX and I will get another 8800 GTX next year... alienware customise page say I will need the 1000w PSU at £65 extra to power them both in sli. So my question is do I really need the 1000w PSU or will the 700w PSU do? £65 less on the bill will be nice plus save on my eletric bill at home.
Here are the specifications of the 700w PSU...
Type ATX 12V 2.0 (quad +12V rails)
Continuous Power 700 Watts
Maximum Power 760 Watts
Output +3.3V@33A, +5V@24A, +12V1@13A/18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@16, +12V4@8, -12V@0.5A, +5VSB@2A
