Seeing all those HDD's I would say you will be pushing it anyway regardless of the make.

This I recommend if you are good with cable management unlike me.

1 x XFX Pro 750W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £82.99
Total : £82.99 (includes shipping : FREE).




or this one if like me you suck at cable management

YOUR BASKET
1 x XFX 750W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply £96.98
Total : £96.98 (includes shipping : FREE).

It's got excellent reviews, I too have this PSU, best I've ever had

I was referring to some of them whining about poor cable management.
They must have old school cases.

Ah right, with you now, mines 'bang' tidy too

Cheers guys! Does anyone know how much power 2x GTX 670 consumes or perhaps 2x GTX 680's maybe

1 670 with a SSD and an I7 (I think) consumed 400w when stress testing also 1 dvd drive included. When you add a few more HDD's and case fans, they all add up.

So you reckon 750w is more than enough?

The 650W thermaltake grand can supply 52A on the +12v. This is more than enough to power a pair of 670 gpu's and the rest of your rig. It is a really nice high quality psu.
