soo... not to get to detailed into the specs... but i have a couple of friends that have the same models of GPUs (total of 4) so i was thinking of convincing them of letting me temporarily put them in my PC for a 4 way SLI set up just to run some benchmarks and see what kinda numbers they could put out all together... 

 

so i went to outervision.com/power-supply-calculator to see if my PSU would even be able to handle it... and it recommended an ARC Reactor...

Super Flower 8-pack 2000W is also an option. Import it.

But really, an AX 1500i is also enough.

well no im not buying a several hundred dollar PSU just to run like a half hour of bench marks... if anything i would just try to use 3 or 4 PSUs from the other systems anyways... 

 

i just thought it was funny that they recommended an Arc Reactor...

yeah, but its a good starting point to ball park it... which was really all i needed.

Sometimes it is but you're much better off looking at power draw benchmarks.
