i think i'll stick to coolermaster. but is 1000W really essential? or 850W enough? because there's a 4k difference in their prices.

CM realpower pro:
850W - 11k
1000W - 15k.

Also i remember reading that the PSU should have 15% higher capacity that actually reqd by the components, to suffice under load conditions......

BTW - i am not able to find any websites with wattage calculators (atleast those which are up to date). those which i found were a couple yrs old. can anyone suggest one?

thanks for the help.

EDIT: ok after searching again, i stumbled upon this site(up-to-date): http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

my basic config requires ~622W [with 15% extra =>715W]
SLI config requires ~780 [with 15% extra => 900W]
