So you're saying that the 850w will deliver the same amount of power as the 1000w? That doesn't really sound right to me, not that I am an expert. I mean I went to college, wattage is wattage. I figure if they say it can deliver 850 and my rig needs 1100, something aint getting power... am I wrong on how these things work? I just don't want to find myself having to buy a 1000 watt PSU down the road when I want to upgrade is all.
Did you not see my calculation above? You will need less than 850w even with trifire under usual conditions. Newegg's calculation is based on average quality psu, where if you stress to near maximum load it will crap out on you. However, if you want to play safe (too safe I must add) the Tuniq is really not as bad as I portray it as.
