Around 850W, I say that because I also have 3 7950's but I have 5 2TB HDD and 1 SSD and I pull  around 965w from the wall.

 

Hope this helped you

 

regards

Check out this power supply calculator and configure it as close to the real thing as possible. http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp Should get your answer.

This reckons 723W, but I reckon 860W would be best? Then I'm safe, even with significant margin for error?

Yes. Go for more than you need just in case.

I would say, that http://www.extreme.o...culatorlite.jsp site is not very accurate, I just did my setup and it said the recommended PSU for my rig is 707w, I know for a fact that is not right.

Nope, its all good. Thanks to everybody for the help. Little side-question... Do 'Never Settle' games come with any Radeon 7950 (so say... Asus.. or... Sapphire?)

The answer to that is yes, it also should come in the same package as the 7950 as well. At least mine did, when I ordered mine from Newegg

So you...asked and answered your own question? I just want to be clear about that.

Not quit, I messed up on the quote, thanks for looking out though. If you read the OP's question right above mine, you will get it.
