This ok for upcoming crossfire 390x or 395x2

Im thinking of getting this while i can still sell my 680 for over £150 and it does not depreciate any more, Its not clear as these cards are not out yet, but in peoples opinion would this serve the new AMD cards, not sure if i go two single cards or one big dual card as yet. But think this will be a useful swap fro a redundent 680 for something i can use for a few years and not worry about power for a dual card setup? The Card is just sitting idle in the box anyway

You're not going to need 1300w but yes, it'll be fine.

Thanks, yeah im sure wattage wise its got headroom, but i will continue with my overclock 4.5ghz sandybridge for now, and lots of other attachments, but it was the rails that concerned me, im not a expert on electrical s, but its the issues of not overloading one and underusing the others if any for example if that makes sort of sense, i heard i remember hat for example the 295x2 had specific requirements as some people could fry there's ect?

just bought this one. seems very nice. just come from a bequiet 750w which has been fantastic. But it is now 6years old and just felt it was time to replace with a new one.

Well I got it, havent installed it, but planning to do that at weekend, So im ready for any crossfire in future without having all the extra work, and can use my 750 watt for another project. Thing is im just wondering about the 295x2, wondering if this PSU will run it with a lightning, in the meantime? No doubt the 395x2 if there is one will be a lot more, and i can use this until some time when the price drops?

1300 is massive. You can run quad top range cards!

Thanks cause iv been keeping an eye on the 390x threads, and feeling the itch to do something now rather than wait. and now that i have a bit more power the next time the 295x2 come on an offer im will prob be tempted to pair it with my lightning, I would be worried if it was any other card for the heat issues, but this card i know will cope with the 295x2 above it. Im sure it will be a while before we see a 395x2 sell for under £700 much less the odd £500 deal

I got mine for future upgrade. Worried my 750w was getting old too.

Yeah my 750 watt was an upgrade to replace a 350 watt PSU in my HP buit machine from comet. But its still going strong in all those years i have looked after it, i have replaced the MB with a Z77,and 2700k,Antec 1200 case, Antec 620 Kuhler SSD new OS and to many graphics cards now to count to run triple screens. Best thing i did was buy a HP it will last me years
