Spec-me

@stulid, Wouldn't you need a little more than 620W for a 6870X2, i5 and the rest of them specs? I would have thought a 700-750W ^^

Our test system is based on a power hungry Core i7 965 / X58 system. This setup is overclocked to 3.75 GHz. Next to that, we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). On average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to higher CPU clock settings, water-cooling, additional cold cathode lights etc.

We'll be calculating the GPU power consumption here, not the total PC power consumption.

Measured power consumption

System in IDLE = 189W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 424W
Difference (GPU load) = 235W
Add average IDLE wattage ~38W
Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 273 Watts

Looks all right to me.
 
I ain't going to bother because you made a thread when you are just wanting to pick your own stuff so why didn't you just do it in the first place.
 
Fine I will go with Stulid build.

One question to Stulid. Can't I get a better motherboard and the cooler later?
