So i am putting together a new machine and am trying to determine the best PSU to go with for this setup. Here is the build i am thinking about

Processor Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz Motherboard ASRock Z77 Professional Graphics Card (2 SLI) EVGA 02G-P4-2680-KR Sound Card HT | OMEGA eClaro 7.1 Fan/Heat Sync ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED Case COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) SSD Of some Sort

So my guess is that i need a 750 -1000W PSU, but which brand.... how much, etc --- really in the woods.

Thanks -Josh
