620 Watts is just fine for that set-up. Power Supply Manufacturers just want to try and make it seem like we need these high wattage power supplies when we really don't. Even with a good OC on the CPU and Video Cards the system should only at peak draw around 500 Watts.

Here's one of the better PSU calculators online.

You'd be surprised by what the actual power draw of some high end systems really is.

I love these cases as they allow for great cable management and I like to put the big heavy PSU at the bottom. Yours looks great with the all black scheme. I'm kinda with ThermalTake-FTW!, I thought that would be a bit much for a Corsair 620w. NVidia only recommends it for SLI'd 7900GTX's or lower. Very nice PC though!

Ya nice hardware, and I gave a good score, but how can anyone see anything with the dark pictures that hide most of the computer, witch means the score is only based on the hardware, I would rather show all and get and honest score based on nice sharp picture that show the whole pc. not dark ones with killer hardware. and I think I'm being fair about this.I'm not trying to cut anyone down.and this isn't only for this post it for everyone who shows off there mod here at techPowerUp!

2x8800 GTXs is pushing your 620 Watts PSU to it max more strain,if the PSU hasnt got 4x pci-e power plugs i wouldnt trust the rails just pluging it in to a HDD power, i wouldnt put any think else in there looks way to cramped.

Steelkane, I added more pictures. If you want to see something specific let me know. The Bigger picture is zoomed in a bit too much. Make sure you click that so it opens in a new window. Then it shows the non-cropped picture.

I do agree with you on the PCI-E Connectors. It would be nice to not use molex converters. I have been looking at the Corsair 750 lately but currently I don't have the extra money to buy it. Eventually I will probably up the power a bit so I can get the 4 PCI-E Connectors.

Yes, That is the Power Supply I have. No I won't swap you cards lol.

BTW... I got the power supply because I got really good deal on it. I'm happy I opted to get it. It is one of the nicest and well made power supplies I have ever used. Corsair PSUs FTW.

Even though the listing has been pulled Ebay has asked that I leave the pictures up well they investigate the users account. So my pictures will be like this for about a week.

Someone who was looking to bid on it happen to be on TPU and wanted to know if I was the one selling it.

Tech Power Up saved the day and saved someone a bundle of money.
