I don't think he would need a 1Kw+ psu, so how can I sit here and justify spending $100 more...just because? that's why I didn't suggest one.

if for what ever reason the OP is willing to spend the extra cash, here are a few good ones...

CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W

SILVERSTONE ST1200 1200W

BFG Tech EX-1200 BFGR1200WEXPSU 1200W

But I don't think he would need anything over the 850tx unless he wants to get another 4850/4850x2 and xfire them.

Edit: hes only going to be using about 420w with that setup so give 30% for OCing and cool and quiet operation that's only 546w so 750tx or the better buy IMO 850tx is more than enough for the single 4850 x2.

I was trying to avoid linking to that other forum but these two threads were the best examples I could find:

Also, if you read the newegg reviews, roughly 1/5th mention a DOA unit. I had been planning to purchase a PSU in the 750 watt range, a 37"+ LCD, and a dual GPU graphics card and I almost pulled the trigger on the PC PnC 750. I had even considered paying a few dollars extra for a non red unit, but ultimately decided to hold off after what I had read. I also remembered a lot of people having problems with their RMAs because the UPCs had been cut off for the rebate, and on a semi unrelated note, OCZ (who has owned PC PnC for the last two years) has a really bad reputation for not honoring rebates. I am not saying I would never ever purchase a PC PnC power supply, just not that one in particular.

750 would be enough for your rig.I would say get a Corsair TX750W PSU or a PCP&C 750W.
