A 750W is very much overkill for that system. A quality 550W is more than enough. People tend to overrate how much power systems draw now (thinking of the i7-920/GTX 480 days), but my system (overclocked 2600K and overclocked GTX 680) running flat-out (Furmark + Prime95) draws only 450W at the wall.

Okay, I'll go with a decent 650w PSU then. But will a r7870 Hawk do it's job while gaming or video-editing? I don't need massive, but just reasonable. Cause if that Graphics card is just reasonable I won't ever buy a second one for Crossfire, which will give me some more security for my PSU choice.

Thanks!

dont worry a single 7870 is plenty for gaming at 1080p and for rendering.
but if in future if you need more power you could add another 7870 and double your performance.
and yes a good quality 750 watts can easily handle 2 7870's in Xfire. maybe even a third one . 750 watts is plenty for anything you may want to do with it.
oc'd cpu + 2 7870 xfire also wont stress that psu too much. so it will be fine.

The changes you can make are

1. ROSEWILL CAPSTONE 550M . 80 Plus gold certified. 5 year warranty. massive +12v rail. 45.5A (546W) . more than enough for single HD 7950 or HD 7970

2. Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. very good cooler . for hitting 4.5 Ghz on 3770k with good temps this is more than enough.

3. Corsair Carbide 400R

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139008

4. With the money saved get yourself a HD 7950 or HD 7970. Both these cards at 1.2 Ghz will be 30% or more faster than HD 7870 (1.3 Ghz)

Hi guys,

Will I see alot of difference between the R7870 MSI Hawk edition and the MSI ATI Radeon R7850 2GB DDR5 Power Edition?
I probably will overclock them, no matter which one I'll get.. I'm just trying to save some bucks..

edit: or is a MSI ATI Radeon R7870 2GB DDR5 Twin Frozr II OC Edition better?
And are the more expensive ones really worth there money? If using Photoshop and cinema 4D.

Thanks!

The Hawk is better than the TFII. Its worth it since you can usually overclock higher.

They are good cards. ([H] review)

If you can snag a reference 7950 for the same price as the custom 7870 I'd say go for it.
