PSU for superwide gaming

[Dashik]

I'll ask in here as its actually about the GPU's.

Planning on a superwide Dell U3415W when they become available in the near future.

I have a pair of 24" Dell 1902x1200 monitors as well that I'm going to use at the same time but only the Superwide screen for games.

Currently running a 270x and that's fine for single screen gaming.

Was debating about either a pair of 980's or a couple of 290x's . Corsair recently replaced my PSU under warranty with at brand new HX1000i.

Running a 4790k with 16gb ram on Asus Rampage Hero mb.

Anyone running similar think the PSU will be ok for Crossfire/SLI? Or should I just get a 295 x2?

Cheers

The 1000w will be ample for 2 980's or 290x cards.

Cheers! One less thing ....

I would go for 2 x 290x 8gb. the ram should see you fine for a good while yet. My mates running 2 of them on that exact PSU.

Thanks, I play Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Wow and Diablo, So really only 2 of those need grunt So the 2 cards sound like a reasonable option. I'll get one to start and add the other if I need it

For 3440x1440 I would go with r9 290x 8gig.

Seems like a decent plan

i would try a single 290x 8gb first and see how it goes, you can always get another if you need it

For 3440x1440 I would go with r9 290x 8gig.

Really? Im at that resolution with 295x2 4gb, what games would need 8gb and how can i tell if my 295x2 is struggling with 4gb??
