Ok, well my friend needs a PSU. Only problem is... It has to power an Opty 165 and two 7950GTs. The Opteron WILL be overclocked and he has to spend as little as possible on the PSU. So recommend me a PSU that will power this for the lowest possible price.

PS I'm worried about it providing stable volts to the CPU. :O

What would you recommend for the minimum to power this thing?

It'll backhand your sister and degrade your mom, but they will still love it and want to date it because it is just that good. I love this card so much that I burned my tongue trying to french kiss it, and I still keep trying.

Ended up going with a SLI Certified Rosewill. Seems to be a solid PSU.

That's gotta be the lowest prices halfway decent PSU that will run it.

I set up a very similar X2 rig and tried out the PC Power 510 and the Silverstone 560 Zeus and they bot worked...so 500-550 watts shoould be plenty...I did hear the PC Power kick up the fan--and both PSUs were pumping some heat--so I know they must be working pretty hard to drive that set up.

Good luck!

Yea, hopefully it turns out well. My friend and I made a deal that if that PSU fails or does not provide the performance, that he will never buy a cheap PSU again. He's been buying Cheapo PSUs his whole life and never had a problem. Only problem he hasn't been overclocking and did not need rock solid rails, nor did he run SLI. I'll definitely post a hardware review after all is said and done.
