I'm looking to put together a new rig in hopefully the next week.
After rebates I'm targeting $2500.
I need to support high end gaming as well as professional 3D environment design/render.
The $2500 is the budget for just the tower, I'm planning to purchase either 2 or 3 27" 1080 monitors. I have all the other peripherals I'd need.
I'm partial to Newegg just because I know their reputation, but if anyone has a reputable vendor outside of that in mind, I'm open to options.
I'm based out of the USA.
I'm looking to do some light to moderate OC, but staying out of the watercooling space.
Here's the rub. I'd been planning to run either SLI (GTX680) or Crossfire(Either the 7970s or 7950s) but I don't think my wall current can support an appropriate power supply. The apt. I'm in has a single 15amp breaker for my office. Off that I'm running a cable modem, a gigabit switch, a printer and my girlfriends (high end) laptop. It seems like all the power supplies I've been looking at to support what I want to do require 13->15 amps of wall current. Am I simply looking at the wrong power supplies or do I need to drastically scale back my plans?
Purchased Hardware So Far
(Rosewill Thor v2, 4x4 Cas 9 Gskill ares DDR3 1600, Samsung 830 SSD 128GB, 1TB WD Black Cavier 7200RPM)
As soon as they release I'm looking to purchase the new i7 3770k Intel Processor.
For a mobo I'd been looking at the ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

I'm still up in the air over cooling (air) and PSU
