So I'm running your gpu and cpu setup with the 10850 5.1 all core and the zotac 3090 flash to reduce power limits. im running 7 120mm case fans and 2 on the nh-d15. 3 HHDs and 3 SSDS.
My PSU is a corsair ax850 and while running various benchmarks my killawatt shows about 630 watts used...

I don't wish to fuel the fire but I have a question, keep in mind i'm not against amd. Amd seems to be a great value and APU seems like the future.
That being said, if you can afford intel and amd will fit your needs just fine right now why wouldn't you just go intel? IF intel has a slight...
