Thermaltake 700W Toughpower Enough?

[badnewcastle]

I'm building a new system, listed below, is this PSU enough? I will OC.

New System:
Intel 2600K
ASROCK P67 Extreme6
GSkill 1600 4x4GB
2 SATA II HDD's
ATI 6970 or better
DVDRW drive
Corsair Obsidian 650D cases
2x120mm fans
2x200mm fans
6-8 USB's 2.0 and 3.0
once in a while Firewire 1394 (maybe)

I get different results with the psu calculators, ranging from 650w recommended up to 850. What do you think? If the one I have doesn't work I'm probably looking at a corsair pro 850w or sesonic 850w...

It's about the most accurate that I've found.

With a single video card, 700 watts should be MUCH more than you'll ever need...although the Thermaltake isn't one of the best possible choices.

Yeah that one is right at 700 watts for recommended. Being that my Thermaltake is 4 years old, I'm starting to think I should replace it. Thinking of going with the Corsair AX850, should be enough, right?

700 will be more than enough. The Corsair is really nice though, if you want peace of mind get it, although the 750W will be more than enough. the HX750 goes on sale for closer to $100 pretty often as well, and is a very high quality unit (but the AX is the best).

Some how I was able to pick it the Corsair AX850 up for 149.99 AR/FS @ Amazon... Their OOS atm, there was 2 when I ordered and it shipped already... I figure for ~$150 why not get one of the best 850's around.

Good price for that. It's a very good PSU.

Sure.

I have this power supply powering 3x5830's, mobo & hdd. It works great and I'd buy another.

^airdata, which psu? the corsair or the thermaltake?

That’s a quality 80+ PSU that’ll be more than enough. I have the 750W version and I’ve run it with an i7 870 + GTX480 without issue. That’s a lot more power-hungry than your setup.
