What temperatures are you experiencing at the 1200mhz/1500mhz level and is it going to need water cooling? I have the Asus 7870 ghz edition, so this thread directly correlates to my situation, also my current psu that is not going to get me anywhere overclocking I was wondering what you recommend?
Will be running
965BE(Maybe a 8150)
Asus Crosshair V 990FX
2 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance 2133mhz
Asus 7870 ghz edition
1x SSD
2x WD Caviar black in RAID 0
1x BluRay combo drive
6x 120mm Fans
My watercooling has it's own psu in a seperate place.
Its on the stock cooler, temps are ~ 60c, you don't need water cooling on the GPU.
What PSU do you have?
I don't recommend going for really cheap PSU's as they can blow out and damage your components.
My #1 for you is the SeaSonic M12II 520 @ $80 with the $20 discount http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093
Or a TX-650w @ $100 http://www.corsair.com/en/power-sup...d-650-watt-high-performance-power-supply.html
They ^^^^^ are good solid PSU's, you can't go wrong with them.
If your going to get an FX-8150, and overclock it, i think you should go for the TX-650 as that chip uses a lot of power.
