You'll be probably drawing about 550-650w running three-way SLI + the CPU so I'd be aiming for about an 850w PSU but I reckon you could get away with a 750.

Have a look at the Corsair AX and AXi, Seasonic X and Silverstone Strider Plus series for some quality PSU's. :)

if it's realistically pulling 500-550w at load then you'd want something to run at its 50% peak efficiency.

this is a top psu with enough connectors for tri sli and comes in at quite a nice price :D

export PS1='\[\033[1;30m\]┌╼ \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;30m\] ╾╼ \[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;36m\]\n\[\033[1;30m\]└╼ \[\033[1;37m\]'
