Hi guys,

I'm just about ready to start on my i7 build, but could really use some advice about a psu, what with the i7 920 eating power when they're OC'd.

Spec:

CPU : Intel i7 920 (Overclocked - would like to aim for high 3.x or 4GHz)
RAM : 6GB Corsair DDR3 (1333/1600 - not sure yet!)
HDD : 2x Sata WD Caviar 300GB
GFX: ATi 4870x2
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA EX58 UD5
+ a Pioneer 111D DVD RW (Not that it'll make much difference! :p)

I was originally thinking of a Corsair TX 750W as it fits in very well with my budget.
1.) Do you think this will be ok with the spec listed above?

2.) Out of interest (although i very much doubt i'll do this) do you think i'd be pushing my luck if i crossfired two 4870x2's with the TX 750?

Thanks,

Dave.

i think it will i saw some guy he had the same good luck
 
The TX750 would be fine for that build, but I wouldn't run two X2s on it with an overclocked i7. If you plan on adding a second one in the future, I recommend you go with the HX1000 instead. Otherwise, the TX750 will be sufficient.
