Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

I'd go for something along the lines of an ax1200 instead.

No, get at least 1000W, online PSU calculators say 950W but 1050W at 100% load so to play it safe get something like the Corsair AX1200i.

The TX850 will not power that computer. You're looking at a 1200-1500W PSU at that range to be safe.

 

Now, why would you even look at a TX850 when you claim to be getting such high end components? I honestly don't think this post is serious.

 

In any case, look at 780Ti's instead of Titans and upgrade that 3820 to something a bit juicer for your overclocking...

i stated this becuase thats power supply in my current rig so as i would like to save some money if i could but yes i see what your saying but it is a serious post i just wanted to know. and as for processor, what would you suggest, also i think 3gb of vram isnt enough in my opinion i would like to have alot of room to work with, instead of just baseing on benchmarks

I'd go for the Corsair AX1200i as @WoodenMarker said, that would be my preference.

I would vote AX1200i as well. Don't learn like I did the hard way, its not always about watts but Amps on your 12 volt rail. I was getting crashes around 600 watts on a AX760 because I was hitting 68amps and its rated for 63 amps. On a heavily overclocked GTX780 you can count on about 31Amps per card, should be close on a Titan. AX1200i is 100 Amps on the 12 volt so your good there. If you look at other PSU's be sure and check that.
