I'm going to be waiting a couple weeks (for a price drop) and be picking up 2 6870s for my machine but I can't decide which power supply to go with. I've been reading a lot and I think I got the just of it down.
Thankfully I did this reading before I bought the graphics card otherwise I would have screwed up something using the 6-pin to molex adapters. I mean my power supply is alright for the current setup I have. However there is no way this thing can handle Crossfire
Anyways I was browsing the web trying to price it out and it seems to me that I am going to be spending around $150-200 Canadian.
Right now I am looking at:
Antec Truepower Quattro 850W
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=24765&vpn=TPQ-850&manufacture=Antec&promoid=1264
Seasonic MD12D 850W *Sale says I save $110 which might be the final decision*
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?...manufacture=Seasonic Electronics&promoid=1264
Corsair HX850W
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=38650&vpn=CMPSU-850HX&manufacture=Corsair
(not sure if NCIX is the cheapest but they do have price match)
I'm almost certain that any of these will be able to handle my Crossfire configuration but which one would be better to me in the long run? Say 2-3 years down the road? Or does it come down to warranty?
OR
Should I be looking at something different? I'm not attached to any company in particular just open to anything really. As long as I know it will work well.
Appreciate the help
