Can't see the first one? TX then but pricey, nice bit of headroom with 1000W and will last forever.

Ah, ok but you said 1300W?
I would go platinum, but to be honest you could pick up a decent gold 850W / 1000W for way less if you wanted. The extra on your electric bills will likely be minimal. Still if you want the finest juice running through that lovely kit .....
*edit* now seen the 1300W. No go 1000W platinum.

1000 watt platinum PSU is fine, as Turbot said.

As you get to the higher end PSUs, you worry less about reaching their limits (unless you're doing LN2 overclocking).
