SLI EVGA GTX 680 + i7 PSU Suggestions

[beljosh]

Hello,

So i am putting together a new machine and am trying to determine the best PSU to go with for this setup. I heard this was a great place to get feedback from people who know more than i do. So here is the build i am thinking about

Processor Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz
Motherboard ASRock Z77 Professional
Graphics Card (2 SLI) EVGA 02G-P4-2680-KR
Sound Card HT | OMEGA eClaro 7.1
Fan/Heat Sync ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED
Case COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1
RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB)
SSD Of some Sort

So my guess is that i need a 750 -1000W PSU, but which brand.... how much, etc --- really in the woods.

Thanks
-Josh

If only two way SLI, I'd go with the SeaSonic X750 for $150

if quality is a higher priority than price, the SeaSonic Platinum860 at $200 is hard to beat
