Hello everybody :D

sooo yeah, last week my HX1050 died om me, it just didnt output any power anymore. Luckily i got my money back for the site i bought ut from.

Now i just need a new powersupply, i currently thinking thowards the AX 860i. 

You can se my system specs in my sig, i an thinking of upgrading my videocard to a 780 or two in the near future xD. 

So anyways, upon purchasing the AX 860i i have a couple of questions, 

1: does it require you to plug in the corsairlink cable(The internal USB2.0 cable)?

Because i actually dont have any spare ports, and dont really care much about monitoring the wattage etc.

2: will og be enough with 860w for 2-780s, a overclocked 3930K and a couple of HDDs/SSDs?

I am currently writing this on ny phone (with a stupid Norwegian autocorrect) so please excuse any spelling errors and such :D

Im sure that is enough watts, as for the usb thing you could buy a usb pci slot and that should work.

The 860i should be more than enough for your system.

ok great thanks :D

ehm i dont think that would work, because it uses å internal USB cable

Good luck then, another idea is to get the EVGA supernova 1000w as that decent and I dont think its got the fancy usb stuff that most people cant give two sh**s about.
