I have always been a bigger fan of 3 vs 2 GPUs.
Looked into how the rails are split on my Antec TPQ-850. So going to skip the group regulated Silverstone and run the Antec on its own. Should be able to hold its own without any issues.

Rails will be split

12v1 8 Pin EPS connector+pumps (4 pin->molex adapter)
12v2 1 card (via molex adapters)+fans+HDD
12v3 24 pin+1 card
12v4 1 card

My unit for whatever reason is listed at 25A per rail unlike every other TPQ-850 I have seen which are all rated to 18A per rail. However at 25A that leaves the ability to draw 1200w via the 12v rail alone...I will have to keep a close eye on the voltages.
