Sometimes I wonder how I got by without getting my second opinions from overclockers.com
ok here is what I working on now ,I am in the middle of a second phase of upgrades I so far have decided to get a second Video card so I can run crossfire looks like I have a ATI 4870x2 to team with my single 4870. I currently have a Coolermaster real power pro 650 watt which was plenty while I was running 2 8800gts in SLI. I am guessing running 3 4870 GPU's would be ok with a 650W psu since I dont really have any other xtras running but my old PS only has 2 6pin plugs each on a diffrent rail and the way it is set up I would have to run both cards on only 2 rails, using the main plug and an adapter on each rail and that just seems cheesy to me not to mention I think it would stress the PS.
What I am looking for is a min 850 watts, 4 6 pin plugs and managable rails a modular psu would be fine I think? the key is I need to stay around $100-$125 can I get a few suggestion that will give the most bang per buck? and is there anything I am over looking?
is there any advantages over a modoalar to a reg psu?
