PC check and psu check :)

I'm not to sure but I seriously would have thought that the 850watt PSU is more than enough for dual GPUs and the setup you've listed.
TRI/QUAD GPUs then you would need to be thinking of a higher PSU?
Saying that I've just checked the descriptions and the 1000watt says its dual GPU ready and the 850watt doesn't.
I'm sure someone will be along shortly for a more informative reply.

kk how abut duel or such or has anyone got the power requirements of the DX11 cards ? im guessing they will be lower power hungry than 8800s and such as all cards have been less hungry recently ?.

bearing in mind the 750W PC P&C is quad ceritified, I think youll be fine
The 5870 as far as we know only has 2 6-pin pci-e power connectors, so the maximum power consuption can't be higher than 225w (18.75A). It's around 187w if reports are correct.
The GTX 295 uses around 289W, buying an old 2 core GPU now would be a bit silly IMO.

Ok just got to fully check that the 850 psu will be able to handl e this build ? its the build i hope to build over time so im not buying it all in 1 go but will the psu be really fine for a overclock, all the front bay devices and 2 gfx cards that MAY change its just an example.
Or will i need the 1000w power supply ?

That 850w PSU will be able to cope easily with that system. The 750w would to, but given the small price difference you may as well go for the 850w.
ok so what are 1000w needed for ? if you were to add water cooling and pumps and maybe duel loops ?.
