680W is FINE. You could run trifire 4890's on that thing if you wanted... a 280 and 8800GT isn't going to phase it either. Quality might be a concern, as I've heard very little about the Hiper brand, but I would imagine you're only drawing 400w at the most from the wall, so you shouldn't be getting anywhere close to the ceiling for your PSU.

If you do some research i'm pretty sure you'll find they are rock soild PSUS. There was a site that i found some reviews on and they compaired it to an Antec so it can't be that bad .

Also, i have a wall plug that mesures my power draw. I'll turn everything off except tower and put Prime going and 3Dmark 06 to get it pulling some power and see what it hits.

There you go - I'd be curious to see the results! My bet is that you pull 350w from the wall.

Stuck 06 going and Prime for about 30seconds and watched it throughout with screens of and all my other things that are plugged in. It was between 450 and 460 for that entire time. So i'm sure it would go up more if i had more of a load but most games wont load more than that stress level any way and it sounds like i have more head room any way

The screens probably take 200w by themselves... my 24" Dell at work takes ~175w (1.5A @ 120v). You should unplug them while doing your test to get a better estimate.

I turned them off from the switch on them. They are 100% of no standby. Just off.

Ah, gotcha. Misunderstood your previous post then! At least you have an answer though - your PSU is enough.
