OCZ GameXStream 700w + 260 GTX?

Get the Corsair 750TX,beening running my i7 at 3.8Ghz in my sig flawlessly for a month now since I built my i7 system.Should be one of the most trustworthy psu in the 700-800W range.

NEED POWER SUPPLY FOR HIGH-END GAMING PC...

Even if you upgrade to Q9650,it's still only considered a mid-end system since i7 is out,anyways with your 4870 1GB Corsair 750TX is more than enough,Im using it with a GTX 260 overclocked and running my i7 at 3.8 Ghz without a single flaw :)

Real Phenom II X4 940 benchmarks

How in the world can a PII beat C2Q if it cant at 3Ghz Vs 2.66GHz even with a half L2 cache Q9400,btw dont forget that Q9550 or Q9650 can overclock to 4Ghz or more on air also.If it loses clock for clock,dont expect it to beat Yorkfield anytime soon. Now those AMD fanboys who put up their...

I'm glad I didnt listen to you on your recommendation on that one,or I would be buying another 750W that doesnt please my i7 system.Anyways Corsair has been rock solid for me be it the Crosair 750TX or 6GB xsm3 triple channel ram,my 3.8Ghz i7 is screaming for more utilized software to be crushed...

Corsair or PC pwr/cooling???

First hand experience with i7 system overclocked is more legit than some reviews posted a year ago,Corsair 750tx been running flawlessly with my rig in the sig,dont just pull up some reviews everytime and consider that most accurate.

Yea,can't wait till the power supply to come in and give me a more stable system,having a i7 system and not be able to play intensive games would be such a waste!(Thinking to add another GTX260 as soon as the new 55mn GTX200s land and give us a price drop)

Will this 750W PSU suffice with my XFX GTX260 c216?

I read the reviews for the latest purchasesmwhile they are both decent PSUs,I prefer Corsair's larger 140mm Fan which will result in lower noise level and better cooling at loads obviously since PC P&C 750 has a smaller single 80mm fan,and performance-wise I wouldnt say either is better than the...

Will this 750W PSU suffice with my XFX GTX260 c216?

I know the Antec EA650 is a decent psu,but in my case my only concern would be whether the +12V rails can handle 40A which my XFX GTX Black needs,dont want to buy another psu just to find out the amps is not enough again,you know,a clear comfirmation on that would be helpful :)

I dont know how that 4x19A=76A statement would come true,because logically my GTX260 only has 2x6pin plugs as all GTX260 do I guess,so that's only 38A even if it's 100% efficiency,still kinda short on the 40A requirement,but anyways the real world result I'm getting is normal usuage is fine(web...
