asus dvd drive
pioneer blu ray drive
2 x mushkin 120gb ssd
6 2tb western digital green sata 3 HDD
6 case fans
any help would be greatly appreciated
 
850w will probably see you through but with most PSU's they will end up being quite loud. We generally say around 750 to 850 for a dual card system. I wouldnt be happy running 3 cards even though your 670's wont pull much without a quality 1000w on there.

That will give you a nice bit of headroom because your cards alone will be pulling 450 - 600w on there own maxed out
 
Thankyou very much for your reply tom
so 1000w will give me head room ?, so many people have told me i need at least 1300w to run this system or it wont even power up and i was skeptical :( after watching your video on psu wattage i was pleasantly surprised and that is why i joined your forums to ask for advice & for that i thank you ,i can save some money and search for a quality modular power supply , you will be pleased to know you have a fan in Australia :)
 
yeah i agree with tom (The Guv) about 1000W should be fine just make sure to get a reputable brand, and maybe go for a higher efficiency one which will just use its power a little better :)
 
Really depends on your budget dude but you cant skimp out.

And with 1300w you could power 4 780 Ti's with headroom lol
 
Thankyou for your advice Remember300
