Was wonder if RM 750 Seasonic X 750w 80+ GOLD was enough for my rig.

 

Mobo: Z87 Sabertooth

Chipset: i5 4650k

SSD: Samsung EVO 250gb

HDD: Seagate 2TB WD Blue 1TB

Cooling: H100i / Custom waterloop

GPU: 2x Gigabyte GTX 770 2x Asus GTX 780

Casing: 540 Air

 

Need to know if its enough for overclocking. If not I have to hold off the 2nd GPU. :(

It's perfect! And damn, that's a nice machine. I have a suggestion, get reference GTX 770s, the ones with the Titan cooler.

 

I think you should get a Seasonic G750. It's better, and doesn't use crappy CapXxon caps for secondary caps like the RM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151132

^I second this. The reason I dont quite like the RM series is because it uses crappy Ltec caps for the secondary caps and the psu is known to work fanless for up to 40% load so the heat might affect the cheapo caps in the long run. The seasonic might be semi modular but you'd be glad to know their psu components are nothing short of the highest quality. And it has the same 5 years warranty too.

My area do not sell Seasonic G 750watt. Only up to 650watt. They do sell X series tho. Is Seasonic X 750watt good?

HDD: WD Blue 1TB

Cooling: Custom waterloop

GPU: Asus gtx 780 x2
