Hello all,
I've been going back and forth on this for days now. To start with, here will be my system to gauge power draw:
Proc: i7 930
Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth x58
RAM: 6 gb OCZ 1600 8CL
Cooling: Megahalems w/ 2x CoolerMaster R4 fans
GPU: eVGA 460's in SLI with a 8800 GTS Superclocked for Physx
HDD: 1x 32 gb OCZ SSD (OS), 2x Samsung F1 250gb in RAID 0 (games), 1x Samsung F3 1 TB (mass storage)
Optical: DVD-RW and DVD-ROM, Floppy, and Media card reader
Audio: Creative X-Fi Titanium (non-Fatal1ty)
For PSU, at various times I've decided on Corsair TX750, TX850, and TX950. What would be the correct size for this system. I will be OC'ing the CPU, RAM, and GPUs to as high as they will go while keeping good temps and 24/7 stability. My current goal is 4GHz CPU and true 1600 MHz RAM, though I will go higher if my components allow it comfortably.
I've almost ruled out the TX750 for this system. It's cutting it too close. I've already had one problem with the PSU not being able to keep up with my system previously, so I'm a little hesitant on that.
I also want enough headroom that I'm not pushing my PSU hard. I want to keep it in a comfortable 70-80% usage range, max.
Thanks!
