I can recommend Enermax Revolutions 1250w. I read up on loads of reviews and think it really is a top performer.

if you plan to upgrade down the line, i would recommend an HX1050.My recommendation, if you have $750 to spend on a GPU, get either a Seasonic X series 1500W, or a Corsair AX1200. Both will have enough for 2 GTX590's.

My Suggestions:

Antec HCP-1200
Corsair AX1200
Seasonic X-Series 1250W (SS-1250XM)
XFX ProSeries 1250W Black Edition (P1-1250-BEFX) <--- internally the same as the Seasonic X-Series 1250W (SS-1250XM)

The Antec HCP-1200 and the Corsair AX1200 appear on NVIDIA's list of certified power supplies for use with a Quad SLI GTX 590 configuration. The Seasonic and XFX models are new to the market.

Adding a 2nd 590's is very hard to justify. One 590 gets 881 fps in Guru3D's game test suite ..... adding a 2nd one for $750 gets you only an extra 10% or 982 fps.

Meanwhile (2) 580's for 2/3 the price gets you 953 fps .... in other words, that extra 3% from twin 590's costs ya $500 ...... (3) 580's gets you 1030 fps..... or 5% more than the twin 590's for the same price.

Check the SLI Zone for what would handle 3 580's

AX1200 would be my choice
