PS upgrade time. XFX Core Edition PRO850W?

Looking to grab a new PS because I just a) dont trust my off brand unit with my new card and b) will be putting this 6970 in Xfire when the 7000 series and bulldozer come out. I can't really complain about this power supply because I have had it for 3+ years and it was like 50-60 $ at the time. It's just time to let go

I was looking at the XFX Core Edition PRO850W

I read a review on it and from what little I understand on power supplies it sounds pretty good. Anyone running with the XFX 750 or 850 and like it? Anyone heard anything bad on them? I will most likely be moving to water in the next few months as well. So with 2 6970s, bulldozer CPU, water cooling, 2 HD/CD drives, 850 sound about right?

WOW. I didn't realize that unit was that cheap.

He's one of the best PSU reviews on a planet. To earn a 9.5 on that website, a PSU has to be exceptional. I'd get that in a heartbeat.

Well that is def is good to know it got good reviews. My only question is whether or not 850 is enough for what I want to do. I feel like it is right on the edge.

I think you'd be fine. It's possible to run two 6970s off a quality 750W. With the WCing gear and OCs, you'd probably be close to 850W, but I think it's a perfect wattage range for you.

Yeah well within specs for what you want to do. XFX is a good company, most of their PSU are made by Seasonic which is a well respected PSU manufacturer. Most people here are in love with Corsair and will recommend their PSU to the exclusion of others. There are other PSU that are just as good (made by the same OEM and most likely come from the same plant) and are priced just as good.

Thanks for the feedback. Going to put in the order.
