[QUOTE=sbradford26;18674297]You could get away with a 500[/QUOTE] gigantic understatement, a system with 2 5870s uses around 560W

[QUOTE=sbradford26;18674986]talking about the rebate.[/QUOTE] ughhhhhh don't get me started. that was 2 weeks to ocz.
550~600 is good overhead
[QUOTE=Unreliable;18675424]ughhhhhh don't get me started. that was 2 weeks to ocz.[/QUOTE] Took mine 8 weeks total to get it cause I forgot to pay for rush processing. :suicide:

I always get the rush processing. it's definitely worth the extra 3bux
[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;18690889]PSU BUDDIE I LOVE YOU :smile: [editline]08:45PM[/editline] AHHHHH :damn: Didn't get the $3 Rush Processing :suicide:[/QUOTE] To bad for you. You will see you money in around 8 weeks or more.
[QUOTE=Robbazking;18676207]A good quality 500watt can handle that. Quad + 5870 will probably peak at max 400watt in full load.[/QUOTE] Completely correct. You could have a massive i7 computer that would only suck about 350w.
[QUOTE=reapaninja;18674339]gigantic understatement, a system with 2 5870s uses around 560W[/QUOTE] A 140W AMD + 2x HD5870 will at worst use 516W. Add a few drives and you may hit 560W, but you'd need to be loading the system down pretty hard, both CPU and GPU wise to ever hit that.
I dont think I will be using 2x 5870, considering i dont have a job >.<
