Watt overkill. I have a Seasonic 600watt PSU powering my OC'd dual 7900GTX 4.0GHZ Intel dual core system. Silverstone, OCZ and Seasonic make great PSU's. Have you measured your Wattage requirement at the 110V plug yet? How do you know how much power you are really using?

Nice PSU.but EXTREMELY overpriced.

If you're going to order online look here:

Seasonic is more stable than OCZ but OCZ has better vitals for a better price.

Ya go with the OZC but you might even be able to get away with a 550 watt PSU.

Consider the 600w OCZ GameXstream. I have the 700w version and it rocks. Also, it is much better priced. I got mine for under $140.

There is no such thing as Watt overkill IMO. it proves to be future worthy along with some good amperage on the 12v rails. As that PSU does look rather pricey i would get something like this :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817163109
