PSU

I'm looking for the best price-quality 1000W PSU, can anyone help me?  :)

I think that this is one of the best:

OCZ ZX Series 1000W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Gold High Performance Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandybridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom - Newegg.com

I use a 700W OCZ PSU and would highly recommend them as a brand, I am pretty sure they do some 1000W PSUs although I don't know how specifically good they are.

 

Also heard good things about the Bequiet and XFX Power Supplies, might be worth checking reviews on them to see if they meet your criteria.

 

Out of interest how come you need such a big power supply? If you don't mind me asking.

Yeah I had that one also in mind

Well I was thinking of it this way: with ASUS Maximus V Formula, i7 3770K, 4x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws Z 1600Mhz, GTX 680 4GB (didn't decided which one yet), 2 SSD's & 1-2 HDD's... I don't know if 1000W is overkill but if I want to expand to like 2x GTX 780's I think 1000W is good enough, not?

It should be more than enough yes, but it would be worth checking out the power draw of such components as it might be very much overkill, especially in this age of power saving components.

I'll do, thanks!

Even with a dual-card setup, a 750w unit would be plenty. Something like a Rosewill Capstone 750-M costs around ~$110, which is notably cheaper than a quality 1kW unit. While there's nothing wrong with going overkill, you might as well save some money where you can.

180 euro or 120, that's no problem  ;)

I'd go for an XFX fully modular power supply. They're 80plus Gold, and they are OEM SeaSonic X-series (top of the line) power supplies, but they are cheaper.

Yeah I have an OCZ ZT series 750watt power supply I'm well happy with it :)

(fully modular)

Seasonic, 'nuff said.

 

Anyways, from the specs you've listed, you're planning on a dual GPU setup so I'd go with at least 850W to leave with a it of headroom.

 

You could also go with Corsair, Enermax, or Silverstone.

Ok, thank you all  ;)
