Good day,
1st, here is what I have all still in Boxes:

Thermaltake Chaser Mk 1 Full Tower (VN300m series)
Gigabyte Black Edition LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboards GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK
i7 4770k
H100i Cooler
Kingston SSD240GB
Win 7 Pro 32/64
HDD - Nothing yet
Mem - Nothing yet
GPU - Nothing yet

2nd, It will be mostly for DAW related music (Sonar X2, not Live), Also, I will be playing MMOs on it via wireless input from router.

My question is this:
Currently running crossfire on my current rig with Corsaire 850w. I May want to do the same, but SLI on this one I am building. Also, I will probably be going for 16 or 32g Memory.

I am looking for a solid PSU, with minimal fluctuations for the DAW aspect and powerful enough that should I want to run a couple of GTX 780, Titans, it will not be an issue.

That said, any thoughts on a rock solid PSU and at what wattage I'd need for this?
Also, if you happen to know a lot about Memory, I would appreciate thoughts on which brand to get for the 16/32gb setup.

Thank you for your time.

For the RAM,Corsair Vengeance,Kingston Fury,Kingston HyperX Beast or Crucial Ballistix Sport are great choices.Make sure they have a CAS Latency of 9 and a speed of either 1600 or 1866 MHz. ;)
For the PSU,an EVGA Supernova G2 1000W or a Corsair AX1200i are the most recommended SLI/Crossfire PSUs.Really high quality and great reliability. ;) Should be enough for 2 Titan Zs.
All the best. ;)

The above suggestion is really good (That power supply is excellent). G.Skill does some really good ram too. For an HDD, Seagate Barracudas are faster than Caviar Blues and cheaper. The 840 Evo is a good option, if you're looking at SSDs.

The 1200W P2 got a perfect score from jonnyguru, and the AX1200i came close behind that, but not because of performance or build quality, but because it only had 6 pci-e cables and is expensive. So they're both excellent, but the 1200W P2 is better because it has what the AX1200i doesn't have, extra cables and a good price.

The 1300W G2 is another great unit for quite a bit less than both of these.

But you probably shouldn't be looking at over 1000W for 2 graphics cards anyway.
 


Maybe you should for 2 R9 295X2s or 2 Titans. ;)
