Hello all,
I looked for over 3 hours last night on the egg for the right PSU for my system. What I am looking for is the right watt PSU that has at least
4 x 6 pin Pcie connectors for the possibility to run crossfire with duel 4870. I do know that the 4870 takes two 6 pin Pcie slots so for duel I would need a minimal of 4 with the PSU, at least that is what I gathered. Also I was hopeing to find one that was modular, seeing how they realy help with wire managment and all. The only other thing I can think of is to make sure the cables will be long enough in my ThermalTake Armour + Full tower case. Here is my rig......Thanks!!
