So it looks like i got a guy over at hard forum that might be getting my psu and my his 3870 (sweet right?) and i was going to upgrade my psu to a 850w for dual 4870's because i know for a fact my 620hx wont do it.

So what is the BEST 850(ish) watt psu out there. im not really worried about price, i was looking at the silverstone 850w with one rail and its 100% modular cabling which is nice.

Sp are going to be the same except for dual 4870s.

what do you peeps think?

on newegg this is all the 800-900 psu.

WOW that was fast.

and do i need 850w for dual 4870's or would 750-800 be enough?

i really do want modular. having all the cables attached makes it harder to hide cables

my 800 has 66A on the 12V rail that is plenty for 2 cards.(or 3 or 4, lol)

The 850 and 860 has a bit extra if you want it.

If you want the 800 PM me I may have an extra one.

Wow over 100A!!! But its a waste unless it was single rail. I still like the Silverstone. Hmm and I've heard this PSU is huge so you may needa full-tower case.
