Looking at upgrading graphics soon looking at ,
1000w silverstone st 1000nv 2 12v rails at 35a each ,operating temp 0-40c .
1000w silverstone olympia op 1000-e one 12v rail think 70a coninous up to 50c .
or could pay little bit more for Corsair hx1000w 2 x 12v at 40a.
Will probabily run dual 4870s any ideas appreciated .

Not knowing the rest of your rig, I'd say 1000w is overkill for dual HD4870's ...

I know bit of overkill and could use good 750w but the price difference not much here.
I only got 600w with 2 12v rails at 18a which is cutting it close for current setup. Just be good to know that cpu at 100% and both gpu at 100% there would still be spare power . Not that that happens but better feeling being ultra safe. Ill go with corsair thanks.
