Hi guys thanks for all the previous help i was wondering should i get the EVGA 1600W P2 for quadfire 295x2 or would you guys recommend another power supply for this power hungry setup.

 

Thanks and regards!!

you probably only need a 1300w G2 but that is one of the best PSU's available

I just fell in love with this card and got myself a second one and a 5820k which idk if it will be enought pci lanes by the way, and i wanna keep them alive so the 1600w evga is both cheap and good looking

If you're gonna get a beast PSU, why not the EVGA 1600T2?

You could also try and use 2 PSU's (one for each card) if your case supports it

I could do that yes but im a bit scared of that,i'd rather just buy a good solid PSU for the cards+my rig instead of 2 psu(i have a cooler master V1000)

That i7-5820K will have plenty of PCIE Lane support... 28 to be exact.

That PSU is plenty of power and will give your system a healthy buffer so it'll run at a more optimal power load since it's not good to run a PSU at high load all the time. The bigger the buffer the better in the long run.
