Yes I have a 8320 which i want to overclock and i want to get 2 r9 290's to run crossfire the question i have is this, what psu would i need to run this, i'm gonna have 3, 120mm corsair fans, 4 140mm corsair fans as well with it and i just need a second opinion. I was told to check out cool master calculator advance and i get 785 watts. I do plan to overclock my cpu to 4 gigs which isn't too extreme but i just want 4 gigs out of my 8 core. I want to also overclock the 2 r9's to 1000-1050mhz but i get stuck with the whole 80 plus. Now i do know that a 800 watt continuous power would be perfect at 100% load on the whole computer, i just want to know if 800watts would be enough with the non-extreme overclocking.
