Why did you need 1kW?

I'd rather have too much power than not enough.

Guyver, my 4 SSDs, Blu-ray drive, HDD, OCed i7, 690, sound card, H100, 6 fans, and 16 GB of RAM needs no more than 850W. Hell, I doubt I brake 700.

Hell, Heavy's rig only needed a 1KW when he had an OCed i7 and two OCed 570s among other things. I think he's using the same PSU now with 32GB of RAM, a 690, a hex core that's OCed, a water cooling system, a sound card, lots of fans, blu ray, lots of HDDs...

Not to mention that that Kingwin is Plat certified...you could probably have 2x690s.

I'm fully aware of how much power components need.

Mobo and CPU might mean RAM? Do you have any DDR3 laying around?

I can go cost out a build... how good are you at putting these together and how much do you want to spend versus the 1000 you are willing to spend?

nVidia ships the 660Ti in September I believe.
