Since you specified no budget, here is a Seasonic 1050W that will keep your components happy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151110

BAD!

overkill on a PSU is as bad as under powering. PSUs substantially lose efficiency under 20% load and get hot sitting there doing nothing.

I would assume its just a joke, because like he said, he didnt give us a budget, so he picked an overly unnecessary one that has the power to power up 3 high end cards

still bad. a diamond encrusted gold plated 600 watt would have been much more appropriate

+1,if OP forgets to mention his budget than it's not that you have to suggest the most expensive or highest capacity unit.
more than required is waste.
@OP,for your setup, a quality 850w is enough.i would suggest-

still too HIGH!
GeForce GTX 570 SLI review
GeForce GTX 570 in 2-way SLI

A second card requires you to add another ~225 Watts. You need a 750+ Watt power supply unit if you use it in a high-end system [strike](800+ to a KiloWatt is recommended if you plan on any overclocking).[/strike] don't look at that!!


(just kidding hellfire )

yeah i know but little heardroom won't mess up the situation.

It's pointless to add more headroom than what the PSU already provides.

 

[hellfire24]

if you looks carefully than it is given that 800w is recommended for a high end system and overclocking.
it's pointless to keep opposing a single person.
