    @DanniV8 Maybe, but to be on the safe side I would get a 1000w.

    Power consumption of 4 way SLI with the GTX 480 isn’t good. In fact, regardless of frames per second performance, the GTX 480 consumes an average of 150 watts of more compared to 4 way crossfire X with the Radeon 5970.

    In my opinion, I’d stick with the 4 way crossfire X. Knowing Linus NCIX company sells computer parts, he cannot disparage another brand if he’s selling it.

    @LinusTechTips

    1500W is not enough!
    put these babies on full load and you will pull about 1500W no room to overclock :(

    and are you going to watercool your system? :)

    Please post the video I sent you. I test the power draw of the SR-2 with dual X5680s and 4-Way GTX480s all overclocked. Furthermore, I test my setup running FURMARK, the ultimate power draw testing program. Nice video, thx!

    @Nadrealis
    Even if all the boasting you have said is true, you are still a douche bag for going on about it so much, which I might add, you have already proven to us, so don’t bother proving it again. If half of the stuff you said is true, I doubt you really wouldn’t feel the need to defend yourself, and unless you are a prostitute (which would meet all of the following description you provided) I don’t think anyone gets laid daily
