1000 watter should work and it would be less wires.  here is one on sale


http://www.shopfsp.com/everest-pro-1200/p/530.html   this is an older design but should work well for you.

i'd think the 1,000 watt would be fine for 3 gpus,   if all the computer does is mine

You can use 860 watt PSU if you wanna save some money.. or 2 400 watt...

1000 Watt PSU would be better... Multiple PSU is just too messy....

[winner999]

You should use one 1000W PSU.

[lilfiend]

run 1 psu, differences in voltages from multiple PSU's can cause power feedback, which is very very bad

[Sythyn]

1 PSU is better just make sure you get a good quality one....

I would advice to buy 1000 Watt PSU but it is about 30-40$ more costly then if you buy 2 500 watt PSU. Worth the trouble and problems...

Are you going to overclock much? Cause 800-900 Watt PSU should be good enough... its way cheaper..
