Hey guys, ive selected the thermaltake toughpower cable management 750 watt PSU as my power supply. It has four (+12v) rails, each carrying 18 amps. But the website stated that it has a total combined amperage of 60Amps.....i thought it should be 72 ??? heres the website: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx...mp;ID=1508#Tab0

 

Anyway, will the PSU be enough for my build??

 

Intel core i7 860

sapphire HD 5850

asus p7p55d-e motherboard

500GB SATA

samsung 2233sw HD Monitor

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE

There is no reason that this one wont' work even with with dual 5850's, If you follow TT's load balancing guidelines in the manual you will be fine. People always give multi rail PSUs a bad rap. When you load balance the rails there are no problems at all. The corsair is a nice PSU as well and does just fine as well

750W Thermaltake toughpower will be ample for any 2 cards on crossfire. I would take a look at the HX series from Corsair. They are one of the most efficient made and get a 4 star rating. It may cost more but great PSU.
