Hello, I was wondering, to power 2 6870's, amd 955 BE 3.2ghz, and approx. 4 case fans with LED (coolermaster storm scout) How much power will I need?

Corsair 650w 89.99$ (69.99 after rebate)

Will that do?

A good 650W unit like that one is all you need, another good option is the XFX 650W unit, the one with the green fan has 4 PCI-E cables so you wont need adapters, and its a nice modular seasonic built unit, its a bit more before rebates and a bit less after but they are both solid units and both easily capable of 2 6870s.

Nice looking psu, Ive always liked the way XFX does their stuff.

What do you mean by I would have to have adapters?

The 6870 requires 2 6 pin PCI-E connectors i believe, the 650TX only has 2 PCI-E connectors but the cards will come with a 2 molex to PCI-E 6 pin converter, one per card that you would need to use with the Corsair, the XFX has 4 PCI-E cables so you wouldnt need to convert any molex to PCI-E to get the power you need.

Sounds like the cable management will be worth the 5$ more for the xfx Thank you
