So, PSU for 290 CF and 4770K with Overclock

[gradyhawks]

Hello,

I'm getting really impatient will be getting my 1st of two 290's very soon. But I have some extra spare money and thought I might as well get the PSU as well. Now the end system will be the following:

4770k (or the new Devils Canyon Version, depending on price)
2 x 290's (Possibly the Tri-X)
16 GB of ram

Will a Corsair 850w Gold be able to handle this, taking into account that I will want to overclock the CPU and maybe the GPUs? Don't want to have to get a different PSU down the line!

Thanks,

Grady

Yes, an 850w PSU will be able to power this system, with 80+ Gold you'll be fine

Read on the net on a few other sites that people recommended 1k for it, but the jump from 850w to 1k is a fair amount of coins.
