dont you think 3 285's is a little overkill? 1 will game 1080p fine, all but crysis maybe.

with 3 i play crysis war head x16q and still get 70-50fps how ever i cant play need for speed under cover x6 with 3 285 i get 50-20fps but with 2 gtx285 at x6 i get way over 100 fps so do you know any good power supply

I will never trust ThermalTake again. I had a PSU for about 6 months. It exploded (literally) one day for no apparent reason. TT replaced the unit under warranty. I installed a temporary unit while waiting for the replacement from TT and I found two of my HDDs fried. I received the replacement from TT and the second I attached the power cable, the replacement TT PSU exploded, killing my motherboard. TT would not compensate me for any of my damaged hardware. I will never knowingly purchase a ThermalTake product again.
 

It's pretty highly regarded and more than enough power for your proposed graphics configurations.
