I wouldn't personally. PSU is most important component. What do you have now?

 

[decrypt3r]

currently got a 650w so deffo needs upgrading

which 850 would you recommend for 2 x 7970?

 

[skylineboy]

I use a corsair ax850.

Which brand PSU (make) are you using?

Hold on I will have a quick look no the store

I use a corsair hx 850, as tempting as It is do not skimp on a cheap psu

so it seems the best bet is spend £100.00ish+ to get a decent one and then know im safe?

yeah, the big issue is what happens if it blows?

A good quality psu will sustain its rated wattage for longer and also protect your components better should anything happen. They can and do go bang, but the best ones protect your gear. for the sake of say £100~ you get peace of mind and a more efficent psu. As opposed to a £450 hole where your 7970s were.

 

[decrypt3r]

i agree!

i can stretch to £125

recommend me one please before i go crazy haha

needs 2 x 6pins and 2 x 8pins for 2 x 7970s

Anything 850w or higher from a reputable brand will have those cables as standard.

Check description - most will say Crossfire or SLI enabled, top end ones will also mention support for 3 or 4 cards - but those will be 1000-1500w ones.

1000w is overkill but the price is similar to other high end 750-850w PSU's and it's based on the Superflower Leadex platform so its really good (better than anything on the site currently except the the Seasonic X Platinum and KM3 based units): http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=346
