For three 680's a good 850-900 watt PSU would do quite well, but if he's going to add a fourth for sure then the system would need a 1000 - 1100 watt PSU.

There's no point in me recommending a PSU that isn't available there wink.gif

Not much choice other than XFX or Corsair in the ~800W and above bracket. What's up with everything being labelled as 2 year warranty?

Anyway, the TX850M should be fine:

I don't know how noisy it is though.

true... my idea is that in short time every psu will be digital thats why i think it would be a good choise

the store gives you two years warenty than, the warrenty extendes to the products ...

corsair was 7 years of warranty but if you pass the first 2 you have to contact directly corsair ... i dont really know why probably they dont want to be annoyed with clients problems for that long tongue.gif

thank you very much wink.gif
