Help determining PSU wattage

[TheSpottedCow]

Hello all. I have a build list for my new pc and I need enough power to run this rig with 7 case fans.

 

I'll add these on later after I save up some more $:

second 290x

second ssd and/or hdd

water cooling loop for the GPU's and CPU

 

I might do a little OC'ing to the GPU's too

 

Here is the list:

Any help much appreciated.

since you will be watercooling and OC the GPUs

 

go for at least 1K watts PSUs

You'd be fine with a 850W PSU

Just go completely overkill and opt for a 7,000W PSU. (JK)

You'd be fine with a 850W PSU

that is with air cooling

this guys confirmed that with watercooling and OC

 

it will draw above 850 watts

Seriously now, I think that you should be fine with a high quality 850W PSU, but, just to be safe, I would get a 1000W PSU, STILL HIGH-QUALITY!!

I recommend checking out some PSU reviews on http://www.jonnyguru.com/

@dragoon20005

Awesome link. His cards were pushing out 860 when he had them at the highest.

 

@Geekazoid

7000W could probably power my house.

 

@Mateyyy

lol Please give me a nuclear reactor, I would power my neighborhood and BE RICH.

 

Mateyyy and dragoon20005, 1000 watts it is! Thanks guys. B)
