go to newegg.com you get 700w either corsair or ocz gamexstream or pc power and cooling

I recommend going with Intel processor and supporting mobo if you can - right now Intel has much stronger performance than AMD - which I also used in past when it was the leader. I would also suggest upgrading to the 4850 video card - if possible - or even 4870 if budget allows- then supplementing it with another later.

I suggest reading THG card suggestions:

Antec Quadro 850 is what i use....I got it for $129...That should take care of your load

For PSUs look no further than:

Corsair 650TX
Corsair 750
PC Power & Cooling 610
PC Power & Cooling 750

PC Power & Cooling is the top end of PSU's and NewEgg had the 610 (49Amp @ 12Volt constant rated) on sale with free shipping for $80 USD.

All PC Power & Cooling units are single rail 100% usable 12 Volt lines and -constant- power draw rated. When under full constant load and viewed on an oscilloscope they have cleaner power than any other brand.

Next best would be Silverstone which is what Falcon Northwest uses in their $6-15K computer builds.

[reho1990]

ok gues u dont know wat i mean bassicaly will a Antec Quadro 850 support 4 hd3850's

Yes you can use the 6+2s they can be 6 or 8 pin

All PC Power & Cooling units are single rail 100% usable 12 Volt lines and -constant- power draw rated. When under full constant load and viewed on an oscilloscope they have cleaner power than any other brand.

Next best would be Silverstone which is what Falcon Northwest uses in their $6-15K computer builds.

Now that is the biggest load of bullcrap ever....
PC P&C do make good psu's and for a good price but dont go as far to say that they have the cleanest power. Thats a lie. And who cares if its a single rail. Multiple rails are perfectly good too.

Secondly Silverstone is overhyped and not that good. In many reviews they have bad regulation and ripple on their rails
