Crossfire PSU req's

[R088ieS86]

Hi Guys,

I am about to congratulate myself for nothing what so ever and buy myself a new rig.

Just wondering if a 750W PSU is going to be enough to power 2x5850's and an i7 920?

The Sapphire website says:

500 Watt or greater power supply with 2x 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ Technology in dual mode)”

So will the spare 150W be enough to power the i7?

I know this could have been placed in several areas but i really want to tinker with Crossfire and hoping several of you guys have 2x5850's and can share any problems/wisdom.

Cheers

The Be Quiet 750W is a solid PSU. But for that money I would suggest going for this PSU.

Cheers mate that looks pretty solid, top marks all round it seems!
