PSU for crossfiring

[Vicente Gomez]

I am building a gaming rig (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/vicenteg24/saved/JV2rxr). In the future, I plan on cross firing for better performance. How many watts do I need to support a crossfire? What PSU do you recomend for gaming and a future crossfire.

850w.

493w load on guru3D's set-up. 750w minimum. 850w recommended. If you want to go higher, up to you!

I'd probably go with a Gigabyte Gaming 3 or MSI Gaming 3 for the higher quality audio codec and better power phase delivery for overclocking.

Not sure if that heatsink is from newegg, seems it ships from Tiawan. Newegg is adding different co-ops to their list now.

No less than 750W. I still suggest 800W+ so you can be safe with extra headroom, which is nice if you plan to OC.

 

This is a great PSU http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=94404&vpn=220-G2-0850-XR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1215

EVGA Supernova 850W G2

Yep, EVGA Supernova G2 750W or 850W. Cheaper than the others I would recommend, like the Cooler Master V Series and Corsair AX/AXi.
