What power would i need to power 3 4890's
Would probably do some overclocking

Not sure if im going AMD or Intel yet...

And for hardrives, just 2. 1 hd, 1 ssd.

1 optical.

up to 8 fans possibly in a torture rack.

amd use an HX 850 - intel go with an enermax rev85+ 950/1050

Dual PSUs

A Corsair HX1000 and a 750TX for me with 3 HD4890s and an i7 920 at 217x21.

850HX just to be safe.

My Killawatt display peaked at 1025 watts with 3 HD4890s runing at 1000/1200 and a i7 920 OCd to 218x21 in my R2E during Vantage and 3DMark06.

OP1000-e for me, also the HEC cougar 1k worked well too.

850 might be cutting it close depending on your config, it may be working it near 100% capacity. If i7 with a few hardrives, pumps and what not I'd look at a 950-1000 watt. Enermax Rev85 1050, Corsair 1000, or so on....

Otherwise an 850-950 would be good, Corsair 850, Enermax Rev85 950
