No it really does need a 700w psu!

I disagree... would recommend a 650W for a single 680, and 850W for SLI... so long as they are high quality units (xfx, corsair)

You had me going at xfx.
Oh and just as a note to you sexy peeps, I wont be able to afford to electricity cost of a sli rig since I spent it all
runs happily on this Antec High current Gamer 620W.....I suppose its nearly 700w
I think I may leave this forum, it seems to be full of the village people.i7 3930K @ 4.2| ASUS X79 Sabertooth | 32GB @ 2133 | 2 x 680 GTX SLI |ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 | OCZ Solid 3 120GB SSD | 3TB SATA Drive | H60 WC | Thermaltake T Power 850W | HAF X | 2 x 28 HANNS.G
A quality branded 600w unit would be fine to power a single 680.

Nothing wrong with XFX for PSU's, they are Seasonic OEM's. Get a lot of complaints about XFX GPU's though but I have one and it's been fine, maybe I'm just lucky.You had me going at xfx.

No, Not Much Better for Gaming, the Differences are Minimal and that extra vram Helps in alot of Games such as Bf3 and Crysis 2 and will be much more future proof then the gtx 680.

Decided and ordered the hx650w should be more then enough for a single card.
Case and motherboard arrived today. 300r is going to be my temp case but looking at it in person it's pretty stunning for £60.
Motherboard was noticeably heavier then any I've had before, again another well built product.
now to wait for ssd, psu, gpu and then 23rd for IB!
note: forgot to order ram lol
Items recied so far,
Case: Corsair carbide 300r
Motherboard: z77 sabertooth
GPU: GtX 680
PSU: Corsair hx650
Items awaiting delivery
SSD: Mushkin 240gb
Ram: Corsair vengeance 8GB (2x4) 9-9-9-24 timings
Items recycled
Cooler: Thermaltake Frio (had broken fan mount, fixed with glue)
So essentially just waiting for Mr. Intel to release IB. Reason I'm updating is so other people can get a idea of cost/performance when I upload some benchmarks

Hope that RAM fits dude, is it the Low Profile heatsink?
If it doesn't fit, swap it for Vengeance LP, or the Mushkin Frostbyte imo
Good luck with the build dude, looking forward to pics

Was the low profile one but looking back at it my mushkin ssd is going to be bullied by the corsair case, psu and ramHope that RAM fits dude, is it the Low Profile heatsink?

Quality 450W for a 680...
You feeling a'rite?
Absolutely. Somethig like a VX450 would run a 2500K build and 680 problem free IMO.
