Which PSU?

Should I pay the small bit extra and just get the 850 watt?
I will be adding another 570 for SLI in a few months.

Thank's for your suggestions. But, is there a mass of difference between getting an 850 watt PSU over a 750 watt?

You would not have to worry about having not enough power, and the price compared to the 750w PSU is extremely good.

Even 750w is overkill, you'll not even reach nowhere near 60% of the PSU capacity at full load I bet.

Whoops didn't see that.

Would like to see the actual power draw of a system like that.

I got the hx850 and it has been fine for me. Decided the extra cost over the 750 was worth it for me.
