The power supply is huge. "Quad" in the name of it refers to 4 Graphics cards that you can run off it. Antec is a good brand, but you need to be 750 W range to be most comfortable. I used this Antec Power Supply Calculator to come up with minimum PSU of 664W

Here are the assumptions I used: i5-760 instead of sandybridge (the 1155 socket is not updated yet), Overclocked to 4000 Mhz, 1.45 volts (that is high, because sandybridge is more effecient), 6970 Graphics card (the biggest card out of the three options), and 25 percent capacitor aging.

Thank you eloric for your answer.

I thought about buying two cards later on and have sli i know the cards will work on 8x/8x PCI-express that's why I chose that PSU.

I checked some websites and it seems I could buy two pc instead of one if I was in USA. *cries* well nothing I can do xD!

About the other parts is everything ok? Is the case a good one for all the parts. 3 Hdds, 1 video card, core i5 2500. And the memory is was one of the cheaper here in Lima.

No K series have arrived in Peru yet. As I read in TH the 2500K is a better choice.

If you have any other suggestion or if anyone else can help me please reply

Thanks!!!
