Holy fuckshit, I spent $70 on my 580W which can run anything from the lowest card all the way up to an HD4870 X2 with the right CPU...that, is overkill. $400 on a friggin' PSU is nuts.

Nothing in the review you posted swayed me over the reviews that I've read of the ABS Tagan PSUs... All I really need to know is iff 900 Watts will be sufficent for my current hardward, and two GeForce GTX 295 when I get them...Quote:

Okay fine, I'll make the question easier.
I am buying an ABS Tagan series PSU. All I need to know is if the 900 watt version will be powerful enough to power my current hardware, as well as two GeForce GTX 295 graphics cards in the future. I'm currently using an OCZ GameXStream 850 watt and it works well, so all I need to know is if the 900 watt will have enough power for what I have now but with two GTX 295 cards instead of my single 8800 GTX.
your 850 is more than enough
yah, why would you even bother getting a psu for 50 more watts?
your current one should do fine.
You could get away with quad SLI on a good 700 watt unit if you took care to not overload any rails :rolleyes:
More laptop builds nowww!
