Default Best psu for an EVGA Classified motherboard
Hello all,
I have been seriously considering using the EVGA E760 Classified motherboard for my next i7 build. I love everything about the motherboard, it's perfect. The only problem I am having is that I have no idea which power supply I should choose for it.

I have heard about a lot of compatibility issues with the enermax psu's(which would have been my top choice). I need something the will handle an overclocked 920 with dual sli nvidia gpu's so around 850-1000w.

Does anyone have any good suggestions? I am looking for something that is effecient, high quality, and preferably something that is a newer design(aka something that wasn't made a year or two ago).

Well I'm going to be throwing down quite a bit of money on this next build so pretty much any price. In other words, i'm willing to pay extra for quality.

I'd suggest a CoolerMaster Real Power Modular, 1kW model.

well I just thought I would note the e760 has 2 8 pin connectors (6+2 pin will not work). While you do only need one two wont hurt.

You really can't go wrong with the Corsair Memory HX-1000watt.

Ssince you won't be running Tri-Sli I don't think getting anything over 1k watts is helpful. so I'd go with the Corsair =).

The list could go on and on. Any of those would work fine, and probably be overkill.

Try the Enermax Revolution+ 1050

(It's in my Sig Rig )

Fantastic PSU and has more stable voltage than the corsair, based on newer tech too.
