I am building a new computer and i am currently looking for a new PSU. I will be getting the QX6850 and also when ever the 4870 series come out i will think about getting a 4870x2. I know that we dont know how much power they will draw but any guesses will be fine. Here are the 3 that im looking at:

■ Antec True Power Quattro 850W - $162.99 http://www.buy.com/prod/antec-true-power-quattro-850w-power-supply/q/loc/101/204697807.html
■ Antec True Power Quattro 1000W - $168.99 http://www.buy.com/retail/product.a...m=204697806&Type=PE&Category=Comp&dcaid=15890
■ COOLERMASTER 850W Real Power Pro - $167.83 http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?332207

i know that the QX6850 seems pricey but i can get a deal on it. See, this years Intel Retail Edge program will be having them for $249. That corsair PSU seems nice though. Any other recommendations?

the 2 psu;s that level101 and andrius are better choices... although the Quattros from Antec as supposed to be great you wont need anywhere near that much power a good ~600w would be more than enough for this rig

sounds good. I think i will be going with the corsair. I would have liked a modular cable system but i will live. I have read nothing but good reviews about any corsair PSU. Thanks for all the help that you guys have provided.
