A friend of mine built the following rig for me:

Antec 300 case, 120cm Cooling fan, top.

Overclocked Intel Corei7 2.66 to 4.00 Ghz.

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel Motherboard

Corsair XMS3 6GB PC3 DDR3

Corsair H50 Water cooling bundle

Sound Blaster gaming card.

Nvidia 8800GT 1Gig Graphs card

2 x 80cm case fans

5 P.S.U's attached to other components.

1 Sata Drive

4 internal hard drives.

Windows 7

==========================

The OCZ PSU has now failed twice, I am now thinking is the 700 watt power sufficient?


If not what PSU would you recommend?
 
700W is more than capable of powering that system.

I'm powering a similar system (diff Graphics, 1 less HDD) with a 600W OCZ unit and it's been working fine for 12 months, albeit with a little coil whine from time to time.
 
4GHz i7 with an 8800GT??? Out of interest, what is the PC used for? It's not supposed to be a killer gaming rig is it? Could be bad luck with the PSU failures, could have a problem somewhere that needs to be found. 700W should be more than enough and the OCZ might not be the very best, but isn't exactly cheap tat.
