Corsair CX series are poor supplies with bad capacitors.

No you need 850w.

2 of the best 850's on the market.

GTX 780 SLI requires around 544W/45 amp's, so you'll require a PSU with well over 50 Amps on the 12v rail, 750W minimum

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_780_sli_review,4.html

Note, these numbers are with a 130w TDP processor


The Corsair CX 750M has 62 amps which is fine, depending on your other parts & overclocking. but if you can afford 2x 780's don't cheap out on the PSU.

They don't give out points easily on techpowerup, that's good for them. I didn't want to offer something too much money from the CX. And as it's on sale it's nice for the features, considering the price is it's main issue. Not everything has to be XFX or Seasonic 😛

Tier two class A - Excellent quality units, if not, as good as the Tier one class of units. For people who have a limited budget, but still want a reliable unit for the price
