Would 1000W leave room for a 4th 5870 or would I need to go to 1.2kW?

1KW for 3x 5870 is okOriginally Posted by 1nsan1ty
Quad 5870, I would go for 1.2KW
Any suggestions for a cheap 1kW? Doesn't have to be modular if it save on cost as I have a massive case with plenty of space for hiding cables
your name says it all, you don't buy a cheap 1kw psu unless you want to blow up the parts attached.
get a nice enermax.

Lol, sorry I made that too easy to misunderstand.
I'll rephrase, at the moment I'm looking at getting:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1000w...ps-12v-quiet-f
Can anyone recommend something either; currently available or, better value (not bad quality)?
get anything made by seasonic.
i'd go with something like this
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1050w...ps-12v-quiet-f
It's corsair, but i believe it's manufactured by Seasonic
Thanks, that looks good. I bought the OCZ ZX 1250 but have just sent it back as there are BIG problems with it especially with my MB unfortunately
Is there anything else anywhere around the £150 mark that is 1250W? I've been looking everywhere but can't find anything. I'd like 1250 over 1000 as it leaves some headroom for possible expansion whereas the 1000 probably wouldn't for me

grab the 1050 w enermax, its peak output is 1250 and the chance in yur rig ever using that is slim to none.

In my opinion, i don't see why you would need 3X 5870's.
If i was you, i'd sell while i can, and get a new card.
but that's just me
Could you post a link to this please?

check on google, a bit out of your budget, i thought they may cost less, but quality and all that

yeah 1000w should be more then enough dependent on the rest of the system you are running
I would either go for the corsair HX1050 or the AX1200 or as people said up your budget for the enermax
why would u want 3 5870's running at once from one psu. 2 5870's is enough for anything
Q: why do i own a car thats limited to 155mph when i can only go 70mph on british roads ?
A: because i bloody well can!

six hi-res monitors in eyefinity running crysis, that would probably over tax a pair of 5870's
If he's only got a single monitor . . . then the user name says it all.
