discussion power supply

[iEPik]

Hey everyone i just wanted some ideas on what wattage i should get on my new build i'm about to start.

It's more of an upgrade of this current system:
1tb hdd
128 gb sdd
Phenom II x4
8gb ddr3
600 w psu
Radeon HD 6790

I will be adding the following:
Phenom x6
another 6790 for crossfire.
(maybe another 4~8gb of ram)

I'm thinking of a 750-800 watt power supply to cover for the crossfire and have enough head room for maybe a gpu and cpu upgrade down the road. I use my system for light editing for youtube and playing high ends games(skyrim,and bf3 ) Money isn't the issue for the power supply, i need a good one so no going cheap on that one, also i don't plan to overclock my system.

Any advice to the build would be much appreciated ty.

I have had two Corsair units in my past computers both without any problem what so ever. I am going to be upgrading in about 3 months and will be going for the Corsair 1200 AX.
I would recommend looking at the 700 or 800 @ $112 and $126 @ NCIX. Just my two cents worth, best of luck to your upgrade.

Antec and Silverstone are a few other reputable ones as well.

XFX is a good power supply with beautiful Aesthetics . Seasonic is another one stable and great.

Agree with the XFX, Corsair, Seasonic, Antec. I would say 750w would be perfect.

PC Power & Cooling make great PSU's as well. Not sure if they are easy to find these days though
