This 800w PSU for 6950 or 70 CF or 560TI SLI?
Last response: in Systems
This PSU is on sale from $130 down to $80 after rebate. I have not fully planned my build, but would like to pick this up before the sale ends tomorrow. Should I?

I know its more wattage than immediately necessary, but the price makes it comparable to lesser watt models and its nice to have some headroom.
But I don't know a lot about PSUs, so is there anything amiss here? Some hidden poison pill? I'm not sure what to look out for. I had planned to use my old PSU for the new build, but that isn't going to work out.
Thanks

No, not a good deal. Apparently the TR2 series has problems, and Thermaltake doesn't make good PSU's anyway. a quality 750w should handle 6970's with ease, and for sure 560 Ti's or 6950's. This is an excellent PSU for the price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... It's only $5 more after rebate and $30 less before. A much better PSU anyway.
Hope that helps!
