I'm going to be waiting a couple weeks (for a price drop) and be picking up 2 6870s for my machine but I can't decide which power supply to go with. I've been reading a lot and I think I got the just of it down.
Thankfully I did this reading before I bought the graphics card otherwise I would have screwed up something using the 6-pin to molex adapters. I mean my power supply is alright for the current setup I have. However there is no way this thing can handle Crossfire
Anyways I was browsing the web trying to price it out and it seems to me that I am going to be spending around $120-200.
Right now I am looking at:
Antec Truepower Quattro 850W
NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection.
Seasonic MD12D 850W *Sale says I save $110 which might be the final decision*
NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection.
Corsair HX850W
NCIX.com - Buy Corsair Professional HX850W 850W ATX 12V 70A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply Active PFC 140MM Fan - CMPSU-850HX In Canada.
I'm almost certain that any of these will be able to handle my Crossfire configuration but which one would be better to me in the long run? Say 2-3 years down the road? Or does it come down to warranty?
OR
Should I be looking at something different? I'm not attached to any company in particular just open to anything really. As long as I know it will work well.
Appreciate the help
