I recently upgraded to a new case(HAF X) and got much better temps leading me to overclock my CPU, RAM and GPU and install new drives
Question: Is my current PSU powerful enough?

PSU: Antec TruePower 750 Blue

Config:
Core i5-2500k OC to 4.8 Ghz
Hyper 212 with push/pull
Radeon 6970 2GB Overclocked
16 GB (4x4) Patriot Viper Extreme OC to ~1670 Mhz
ASUS Sabertooth P67
HAF X Case with 4x 200mm fans, 3x 120mm fans, 1x 140mm fan, 1x 50mm fan
Asus DVD-RW
Asus BD-R
WD Caviar Black 2TB
Seagate Barracuda 3TB
Samsung 830 128GB
Crucial M4 64GB
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
Sycthe Fan Controller
Creative Sound Blaster Titanium
D-Link 556 Wifi-N PCI Adapter


If not, please suggest a better PSU with CrossFire/Upgrade headway

Thanks

Yeah, those things ALWAYS over estimate (not a bad thing, I suppose), but I can guarantee you that you won't be pulling anywhere near 1kW.


1kW? WOW! No, that system should NEVER pull anywhere NEAR that, even with CF 6970's.

I would say it's MUCH closer to 600-700W max at 100% load for EVERYTHING at the same time.

1kW for THAT system, that's just insanely outrageous and idiotic, lol.
