Q. In time I might get a second 4870x2, will the PSU handle it?

I have taken your advice and got rid of the 940 and the 1200watter PSU saved me a nice little number lol. If u recommend anything else let me know

Thx again everyone

(ps if anyone wants my research on all my hardware just give me your email address and i send it to you, or any other questions just let me know.)

Purely from personal experience, don't buy a Thermaltake case. I've never used their PSUs so no idea, just change the case.
