What type of Cards are you going to SLI?

The PCP&C 750w will usually handle anything.

Agreed on the Corsair, the PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750W is also a great power supply that got the same overall score, 9/10 from JonnyGuru.

does the PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Watt have 6 pin and 8 pin PCI-E connectors for the high end video cards? GTX 280 or 9800GX2?

Yes, the Silencer 750W has 2x6-pin and 2x8-pin connectors on it.

The Corsair 750TX has 4x8-pin.

thanks, I might just get a GX2, it saves me money and I don't have to upgrade my Motherboard yet, just the PSU and Video card.

Man, that's such an open ended question...What are you planning on running on it.....go to AMDs website and they have a calculator for wattage needed and then go to Newegg.com and price according to what you need and read the reviews...

Hope this help you a little...

I'd recommend the corsair tx750 out of those 2 choices - its a widely known and accepted model.

I like thermaltake units myself, but that is purely personal preference.
