:confused:
I have noticed that most people with 3 video cards use over a 1000w psu... Extreme outer Vision says that I could run 2 gtx 280's and a gtx 260 core 216 with just 696watts. I have a 850w. I'm not good with electrical ratings and such... So here is a print up of what they recommend.

and here are the specs for my power supply.

My PSU also has a 6pin and an 8pin on the same line. Can I use both of them or is it for more of 1 or the other type thing??...:shrug:

I'm very dumb when it comes to electical things so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

depends on the quality of your psu (brand is also important) some of the corsair models are 850 but can handle 980 watts. but I am not an expert
