My choice is a Silverstone 1000W 80 Plus Silver PSU.


I'm not currently going to SLI, but I may want to in the future. I'm running a single 670 ATM, but I want the option available to me to persue a dual card 670 setup if I choose to. I'll also be overclocking my processor substantially and possibly adding cold cathodes and multiple LED fans.

Using an online PSU calculator, I arrived at the 800W~ mark minimum assuming the SLI setup was in play. More than that, perhaps bringing it to 850 or so, for the recommended. But I'm concerned about running the PSU at 100% load due to noise and longevity issues that might incur.

Any advice? Thanks!
 
If you want a longer warranty for the longevity you mentioned, take a look at Seasonic, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling.
