Please check this build please :)

well at the min iam running 3 gfx cards (275gtx's and 8600gt) and a oc'ed i7 with water cooling and 7 fans with a 850watt andits fine so it should be able to handle one 480gtx but if he want to go sli i would say go 1000w+

edit: nice spot mattjd missed that one
 
the best power supply would be the Corsair TX 950W ATX SLI for 135 but my self i wouldnt get the keyboard mouse and head set and spend more on the system if you did for your budget you could get

This would be my suggestion. However, I think you should think what the chances are that you will add a second 480 in SLI. A single card will blast through all game for the next few years, by the time you will start feeling the need for upgraded graphics - newer, more power effiencient and faster graphics cards will be available. At that point, buying a second GTX 480 will seem crazy.

With this in mind, I would suggest sticking with the Seasonic 750W and enjoy your gaming.
 
Yeah but I need the Keyboard & Mice and the headset for when I am gaming. I heard the Coolit was crap?

Very good point!
 
I could sell my case and get the Antec 1200 which I heard can fit a 280 Radaiator internally on the top. Anyoen want a brand new Antec 902 for £70? :L
 
One point I would like to make about the TX psu is, higher wattage psus have a lot more connectors than lower wattage ones, this means because its not modular you have any absolute forest of wires to tidy/tuck away.

Difficult if the case is small or poorly designed.
 
have you had a look at the raven series from silverstone with your gpu it will make a huge diffrence in temp's and you can fit triple rads in/on them and start at £100
 
I think I will get the Antec 1200 it has 3 intake at front. 2 out take at back and 1 large out take on the top. Plus the Motherboard is on the right side of the case which makes more sense because my desks Tower slot is on the right.
 
the rv01 has a the mobo on the right too but if you want to go with the antec 1200 you could get the antec cp 1000w psu which is only £115 but only fits 3 cases maded by antec lol
 
Where do you think I should sell my Antec 902 then? I dont mind selling it for £60-70 its never been used and only the box has been opened.
 
Do you know any mates who might be interested?
