Hello all. I am in the process of upgrading my computer as well as replace my current water-cooling. I have an opty 170 now with 5 hds and an 8800 gts with a xion 600w psu. I am going to change it up and get a e8400 with 780i mobo, still have 5 hs, and add another 8800 gts for sli. I'm also going to be replacing the cheapo 99$ wc kit I have with the Swiftech H20-220 kit. Would a 750w PSU be sufficient for this setup?

750 will be more than enough as long as it's a quality made unit.

Indeed those are good units. You could probably even do good with the 650 or 620 corsairs.

Cyber,

Out of curiosity, what does your new W/C unit draw in watts?
