Total w/shipping to me (US) $1,022.28. I don't think that price is too shabby for the specs, is it? Since I don't want to become a hooker in order to pay my electricity bill (1kw p/s), this rig would get used ~ 10 hrs /wk
EDIT: _might_ bump up to the 4.5GHz 8-core but kind-of a power hog (220W) |

Im also wondering. You got your computer service store and stuff, but overestimate the power that dramatically?
Some friend's PC got similar hardware barely scratches 600 watts at absolute maximum load. And even the CPU is drastically overclocked, and he uses double-SLI.
Your config wont ever go beyond 400 watts, maybe 450 when overclocked, and thats easy to say just by adding the TDPs and extrapolating a bit. That "PSUs are most efficient when at 50% load" argument also doesnt apply when going with a 80+ one. You really dont need a 1KW PSU, and you really dont need to worry about the electricity bills that much, so whats behind that misconception?
