so yeah i need a new PSU and ill be adding about 2 more Hard Drives in the future and possibly a new Video Card , ive outgrown my current PSU.


im looking for some suggestions in what brand of PSU to get and Wattage


also i will be getting a Antec KÜHLER H2O 950 Performance Liquid CPU for cooling



chat soon
 
You are not remotely close to using half the power of that psu. ;)

You could overclock everything in that pc to the moon and still have hundred s of watts available. A 750w psu like you have will power most any dual gpu setup and overclocking.

Enjoy!
 
hi EarthDog thanks for your reply............


wow thats awesome , i was under the impression id need a new PSU
 
2700k overclocked to the moon on ambient cooling will use max 200w and even that's exaggerating. The 7770 will use 150w max Oced. Even running everything at 100% you wont be even close to maxing out the Psu.
