PSU : Corsair AX860W

CPU : i7 4790K 4GHz

GPU : 2x Gtx 980 WindForce

860W is overkill if you ask me. High quality 600W is even a lot of overhead room.

Main: i7 2600 | ASUS P8Z68-V | 2x4GB Vengeance 1600 | GTX 580 | WD Blue 1TB | Antec TP-650C | NH U12S | W7 x64

Backup: X6 1090T | MSI K9A2 Platinum | 4x2GB XMS2 800 | GTX 550Ti | WD Blue 1TB |  Antec VP-450 | CM TX3 | W7 x64

are you really sure about that? that just seems a little...low... i thought 600w is just cutting it close for total power consumption

but, i could be wrong, what do i know? 

Home is where the heart my desktop is.

Yo are not wrong.He suggested very a low wattage.

Nope. Computer's take up a lot less then people think. Skip to 2:10

well ok, if you say so, I was just a bit dubious when krzyimprt said that 600w is even a lot of overhead room.

People over-estimate what PSU's they really need in terms of wattage. Jayztwocents did a video of this awhile back and I suggest you watch all of it. He has a highly overclocked build here.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
