750w is serious overkill. The 430w of the Antec Earthwatts can support it.

I want to crossfire later
and the wattage calculator said I need 600W at least
plus 2 HD 6870 will need four PCI Express Power Connectors
Which only the 750W version offers
and corsair is too expensive

 

[Why_Me]

For dual 6870's a 650w psu is what's recommended.
