1000w PSU enough?

[Solo]

I'm planning to crossfire two AMD Radeon HD 7990 and add five 3.5 drives.
My case already has 9 fans and three drives and will try to overclock as well.
Calculating I will have a total of 2 GPU, 9 HDD and 9 fans.
Will 1000 watts be enough?

Do you already have a 1000w psu? If yes mention its make and model. A good 1000w will be more than enough.

If you haven't purchased, mention your budget and processor

One card about 72,000. I have 20 inch monitor. Might get a 14 inch monitor soon.

what you just need is 3 X dell s2240l and a single r9 290. if you ever feels bottlenecking later by the gpu, buy 2 of them. dont get the 7990.

One 7990 card is beast enough, but I have currency to burn so why not hehehe.

dont burn it for no use.
1) you will not get any benefit from 7990 with your 20" monitor
2)you are paying extra for your electricity.
save the money for future. deposit it in the bank.

But after spending time evaluating its thermals and acoustics (to say nothing about its crashes and performance hiccups in CrossFire, which could become a story unto itself), I can’t think of one reason to recommend 7990 to a friend. And, at the end of the day, that’s what this job is all about.

Yeah, I guess your right, 7990 is overkill. It just that it bothers me little to know that I have one empty PCIE x16 slot ready for crossfire. Two dell s2240l is fine by me.

get a good sound card on the other PCIE slot rather than crossfiring. any way yo should get r9 290.

 

[ASHISH65]

I would get gtx 780ti and later look for sli

Nvidia drivers support for sli is much better than amd for xfire

Wow wow wow! Thank you ASHISH65 for the valuable information.

Yes I would if could, but I'm not sure if my motherboard P8Z77-V LX supports SLI. My main reason switching my GTX 680 for AMD GPU.

Thanks rijinpk1. At the moment I'm thinking about the AMD 8000 series. I could wait for release and get the best GPU from that line up and be one step above everyone, I hope.

the new amd gpus are named like r9 290x, 290.280x,270x etc. amd will not release hd 8000 for desktops. amd has ditched naming their gpus like 9990,9970 etc.

 

[marvelousprashant]

I won't suggest r9 290 or 290x. Only reference cards are available.

Oh now it all makes sense. Here I thought the R9 290, 280, etc were all side projects. I wonder why ditch such catchy names.
