Current and Future System details:
i5 2500k (OCed 4.7+)
Asus P8P67 Deluxe B3
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
EVGA 460 GTX x 2 SLI
COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1
1 x optical
2 x Sata II in RAID0
2 x Sata II in RAID1 (future)
1 x IDE HD
Fan controller
Full system water cooling (future)
About 8 fan w/leds (current/future w/ water cooling)
This system is currently up and running minus a few components. I bought a Kingwin Lazer 1000w based on reviews and such but failed to find the right reviews that would have led me away from buying the waste of money. It can't handle over clocking. Everything set to standard or auto and it's ok but after OCing the CPU and GPUs and it constantly drops power. So, it's a paperweight.
It was suggested based on my requirements to go with a 750W PSU. Based on what the PSUs that were suggested, I was looking at a Corsair HX750 PSU because it fits my needs (cabling/modular) and I can pick it up near me without having to order. However, I looked at a couple of PSU calculators (to include one suggested by overclockers) and according to them, they suggest a 850W PSU. Any suggestions on wattage? Will a 750W PSU suffice giving my requirements? Thanks
