ok im currently building a new Rig 965 black edition using crossfire 5850's and i need a PSU Will a 750Watt Corsair TX be enough Power?

Here is my Rig.

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P
x2 XFX HD-585A-ZNBC Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB Black Edition
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz
G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200
Hanns·G HG-281DPB Black 28" 3ms Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor
COOLER MASTER HAF 932
 
the TX750 should be plenty. i have one. and i have had a corei7 920 @ 3.8ghz, around 1.4v, and two GTX 285's in SLI. no hitches at all, corsair makes great current model PSUs.
 
i wasnt sure cause ive been debating this for about 2 weeks now. lol now that i got the cash im ready to order

They both have the same amperage across the +12V rail (or rails in the case of the Seasonic). The Seasonic is better quality and modular, so I recommend that over the Corsair. It's also the same price before rebate.
 
cool thanks a ton. im gonna order SeaSonic M12D. Im wondering tho if i should wait more near xmas? maybe a slight price drop?

Who knows? If you don't need it now, you can wait. I doubt the price will change much though.

The M12D is already on sale for $140. I doubt you'll see it drop below that in the near future considering it's the lowest price I've ever seen for that unit.
 
That seasonic is a real good psu for the price and power range. I've read lots of good things about it.
