Corsair TX750 currently on special offer.

Do I need 750w? Or 650w is enough?

650w is enough, I was just thinking ahead

Just checked and that's a nice price on the tx750 though.

I would go with the Corsair TX 750 (v2 would be ideal if possible), at least that way you can add another 5830 with a decent amount of headroom. The 650w is fine for single card config but if you wanted to add another 5830 the psu will be louder and hotter.

282w in crysis, probably 460w in crossfire.
