[kruznix]

Hi guys,

Wanting to upgrade my PSU and now I'm just stuck choosing between this two....

One is Gold and the other is Platinum...n theyre' about $50 difference, but the Platinum I have to wait for about 3 weeks. So can you guys tell me what are the difference and which one is the better buy.

Cheers!!

What is your system hardware?

 

[kruznix]

i7 3770k, corsair H80i, HD7990 and HD7970

Either of these will be perfectly fine. I would just get which ever is cheaper. Probably the Gold.

Does it really take 1050W for a single 7990? You could probably use a Seasonic X860 instead.

I think just HD 7990 doesn't, but I'm xFire-ing 7990 with 7970. So I think 1000w is safe?

I'm not sure you can do that - the 7990 you have is already Crossfired. Wouldn't adding another one cause some system instability?
