So once I turn 15 I want to get a better paid job so I’ll be able to build an nas that also is a retro gaming rig right now my plan is to use my 750w psu form my main gaming rig and put it in there it will probably be in need of running a first gen i7 or a core 2 quad and I’m planning on getting 3 8tb hard drives it is a lot for personal use but I don’t want to add more down the line and i almost forgot the gpus I’ll be using are 3 gtx 285s in sli or maybe 2 gtx 295s in sli but probaly the gtx 285s

What exact 750W PSU? There are "750W" PSUs that are incapable of providing continuous 400W of power.

 

285s are power hungry cards, so even good 750W would cause you troubles if you are really running three of them.

I have a 750w 80+ gold psu from some company I don’t know of and it’s running my gtx 690 with no problem
