Advice on PSU

[olryst]

Hi, I was thinking of getting the Antec High Current Pro 1200W PSU, but I wanted to see if a lower priced one would be sufficient first.

Needed to run:

Phenom II 965 @ 4GHz
Asus Crosshair V
8GB DDR3 1333
MSI 6970 Lightning @ 1GHz
vertex 2 SSD
2 x Sata 3 harddrive

Possible for future:

Bulldozer
Second 6970
Water cooling CPU/Graphics

Don't bother with Bulldozer, per clock it performs worse than the 965. Wait for Piledriver if you want to stick with AMD, but even then I'm not confident with it...

unless you're planning on tri/quad xfire/sli you don't need 1kw+, 850w will be enough for 6970 xfire or if sticking to a single card 650w.
