Can someone recommend a good PSU to run 4 graphics cards + 8 Core CPU mining?

[#Darren]

4 x 7970 + an 8 core cpu.    What sort of wattage would it need, and can you recommend a good brand/model?

TIA

I'll do some quick research, i'll let you know what i come up with
You're gonna need a pretty darn good PSU, with somewhere around 1600+ watts, and by good I mean one with a high efficency
so something like this guy http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159158

Probably have to do with two PSUs using this adapter.

Or you could get a EVGA NEX1500 which should be plentiful for your system.

This one is good: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007W5TV6K

If you go with 7950's, 1200 watts will do it

Antec Truepower Quattro 1200W - http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=177

It runs 4x6990 here, power output is almost 1600 wats! 
24/7 !

Am I surprised all of you?

Im running 5 7950s off of a Corsair AX1200. They are under-volted of course but its been rock sold for the past 7-8 months =)

Pretty affirmative that this one would have your setup running with fingers in the nose.

The super flower psu are rebranded as Kingwin in the US.

Already got 2 7970's - but could do 2 x 7970 and 2 x 7950 (in fact was thinking of that but wanted to keep OP simple).

What sort of wattage would we be taking in that scenario?

Thanks for the advice guys

Are there any downsides/glitches associated with running two PSU's into the single system?  Or do you just get a nice smooth 750w+750w=1500w type result?

Obviously it's not entirely accurate, that's an estimate if everything is at 100% load, but it's best to be safe.

So 1600W should be ample. The above-mentioned LEPA one should do the trick. Or two linked 800W's. Rosewill (Newegg) has some decent low-cost ones.
