This is going to be my first build, I already ordered the parts, but now I am having second thoughts about the power supply.
I got the Corsair 750TX 750W PSU which I thought would be sufficient, but then I used Power Wattage calculator on ASUS website and it recommends 1000W?
Here is the system:
Coolermaster Cosmos S case with 4 case fans
Motherboard Asus Rampage Formula
Processor Q9450
2 video cards in CrossFireX configuration: HD3870x2 and HD3870
4GB of DDR2-800
Two Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640 GB in Raid 1
DVD drive
I am planning to overclock very modestly. Do you think the power supply would be sufficient or I should get more power?
Also, if in a year or so I will decide to upgrade to two 4870x2 in CrossFireX, would that change the equation?
