For a XFire 290 4770k with some approximately 5 case fans. With some CPU and GPU overclocking headroom. Thanks! :)

LOL. Do radiator pumps consume big chunk of wattage/voltage?

Congrats on 3k.

Would post some stupid/ironic/sarcastic image, but I'm on mobile. Way to lazy to open imgur, find suitable image,etc.

That and I have school today so I have to sleep.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Alone 2 r9 290s would take approximately 500 watts.

So it's safe to say a 750w PSU would suffice?

It's safe if you get a solid one. It may otherwise get loud when under load.

1. I have no experience with the newer AMD cards, so take that with a kilo of salt, or cocaine if you roll that way.

2. Yes, I've watched Frozen 19 times, I'm completely burned out though. Recently I've been watching anime-mostly Sword Art Online, as indicated by my location. :P

Corsair doesn't make any power supplies. They rebrand them and sell them. Just thought that I should point that out. ;)

Hahaha. Try watching Log Horizon it's also the same with SAO but for me it's much better :)
