So, I have been reading this forum for a bit and I am seeing plenty of good input on PSU Wattage and "What should I get"... but i am still undecided... I have a decent build (in my sig) and i am about to run a Water Cooler to go to 4.0 on my i7 920... should i upgrade from my Corsair 750W to a higher PSU... like a 1K? I am currently overclocked to 3.5, and my SLI GTX285's are stock GPU speeds... for now...

(Also, the ram will be changed to Corsair XMS 6144MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz when it gets here on friday, freeing up 3 DIMMs)

Corsair 750W can handle it. No need to upgrade imho.

I was thinking that too... but seeing peoples calculations with power usage of certain components made me second guess my PSU choice...

Thanks for the fast reply...

You might hear the PSU fan come on under heavy load but it should work just fine. Guestimating load draw of about 600-700 watts at the PSU during simultaneous Prime95 and Furmark .
