I built a system similar to yours, but I went amd because it was slightly cheaper and I only 5 box. My system was 1800 so an equivalent intel would be about 2500 so sounds right. My system is 2 months old and I love it.

This is what I just put together last weekend. This thing is a beast, 4-boxing SWTOR with full eye candy and this setup breezes right through it. Running a triple monitor setup with the new 7970 running the 27" and a 22" mon and a 6850 from the old comp running the other 22" mon.

Overkill. You're could have saved ~$100 by purchasing a less excessive PSU.Quote:

There are several good options having around 850w, or if you go up to $200 it's about 1050w. I just don't know if you're cutting it close with 850w.
One of my links from the page 2 states this:Quote:

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
- GeForce GTX 680 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
- GeForce GTX 680 2x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
- GeForce GTX 680 3x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 900 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
