Hi!, Im looking for a new psu for my new pc.

I´ll try to put 2x titan + 1x 570gtx

This psu will be enough but is very expensive and maybe I dont need that power.

Corsair Ax1200i 1200w 80 Plus Platinum

Any suggestion??

Hi
I've put a bunch of four card rigs together this year. For a three card rig including two Titans I would recommend 1500 watts. My favorite is the EVGA one. Expensive, but worth it. The Classifieds are nice too.

Maybe 1200w is too much..

Hardly. Get 1200w.. or even 1500w as Alec suggests...

Corsair or EVGA should be wonderful. Corsair 1200w is going into my next beast. I can't
find EVGA 1200w... hmm... seems to go from 750 to 1500.. strange.. and the 1500w is $449!!

Really, 1200w should do the job pretty nice. And I would think that PSU's only use as much
juice as you require (am I right?.. anyone?).. so it is more about piece of mind + future-proofing.
I am not an autority yet on Titans.. do not know required watts off top of head... Maybe you really
should get a 1500W.. you are already blowing a couple grand on the Titans.. whats another $450?

edit: did a little pokin' around.. looks like they require somewhere around 350W each when maxed...
a rough estimate from averaging a couple different sources.

If you are going through all the trouble of slapping in a new PSU (a chunk-o-work) you might
as well spend a little more and be sure. Would suck indeed to find after a short while that you
did all that for not - because cards are failing and you are getting BSD's etc.. and need to then
get the one that you should have in the first place.

I think Titans are 250w and 690 draw 300w.
I've recently bought a Seasonic x series 1250. Comparing reviews it seemed to have better regulation than the others although most of them came across as being quite OK.

I finally bought the ocz zx1250w.

Lets see how it works...
