Hey guys.

Planning an upgrade to the following :

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-145-OE
Super Nova ROG Intel Core i7 3930K 3.20GHz @ 4.40GHz DDR3 Overclocked Bundle

XSPC RayStorm Twin D5 AX240 WaterCooling Kit
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-183-XS

2 x OcUK Tech Lab H2O Custom GTX 670 2048MB GDDR5
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-001-OP

I currently have a 750w PSU. Will this be enough to run this + 4 x 120mm Fans and 2 x Vert 4 SSD's?

The shopping list grows

What is the make and model of the PSU?

But in terms of power you should be ok, what is the pc going to be used for?

that motherboard and cpu combo is a beast of a setup. good choice, the 670's for me are a bit overkill but a must if you want all liquid cooled, hope your psu is a good make and you will be fine, for me a bit more juice is always nice like a 800/850 depending on what other bit you have in your monster case, but you seem to have the money with the bits you have so far, will be a great gaming rig

enjoy

Just to give a idea my system in sig pulls 330w from the mains with Prime and Furmark running together.

So even with an SLI setup you'd be nowhere near 750w?

Indeed, I cant remember what my GPU pulls on its own!

Guys thanks for the reply.

Its a corsair 750w PSU.

Plan to run 6 24" screens and multi box some eve o clients. Plus I am heavy into my video editing so with this setup I hope to future proof it for at least 3 years

Order has now been placed... WOOT!

With the release of Ivy-e on the 2011 socket in Q3 of 2013, I would imagine it to last you longer than 3 years.

The machine I currently have has lasted me 3 years thus far and could see me for another year I would Imagine. However itchy fingers and all that + I just ordered norton ghost and need to rebuild my images..

Thanks for the quick replies guys.
