I'm finally upgrading from my trusty old 2600k/P67-Deluxe setup to a 5930k/MSI x99 build. CPU/Mobo/Ram should be here tomorrow.
I'm still undecided on which PSU upgrade path to take. I know my current setup could probably push my HX850 to it's limit, but it hasn't let me down yet. That said I would like to start with a fresh unit to power my new build with a little more room for overclocking and future upgrades.
I'm thinking 1000w-1200w would be the range I'm shooting for (leaning more toward 1200w). I've heard good things about the EVGA units. Since my Corsair HX850 has been so solid, either HX1000i/HX1200i would be contenders for me as well. The AX series is nice, but too pricey in my opinion.
These are a few I've been looking at.
EVGA 1200P2

Would like to pull the trigger on a PSU today, so I can get my new setup going this week. Any comments or recommendations are welcome!
Rough specs if anyone is curious (will overclock anything that can be)
Intel 5930k (hoping for 4.5GHz)
MSI Godlike x99
32GB DDR4 (3000mhz)
2x 980Ti in SLI
5x HDDs (actual drives listed in sig)
2x SDDs
4x 200mm fans
1x140mm fan
