Ok guys (or girls)  i need some help here. My computer is almost finished and i just need one last peice of hardware.  The Powersupply. I really want to try and save as much cash as possible here as I have spent a huge amount of money on this thing already.  First off I'll give you the specs on it since I know that's pretty much a need to know thing for hardware.

Motherboard: XFX  NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI Intel Motherboard

Heatsink: Zalman 9700

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0 GHZ (attempt to overclock to 3.5)

RAM: 2G x 4 (8 Gigtotal)

GPU: XFX GTX-285 (Going for Tri-SLI, but might settle for just two)

Also 6 LED 120 MM fans, and 1 LED 200 MM fan with a blu-ray burner.

 

So basicly here is what I'm looking at.   It's a Silverstone and it is a 1000 Watt powersupply. I Originally wanted a 1200 watt, but like i said trying to save a little money. Found out that the GTX-285 takes a considerable amount LESS energy then a 280 (what i was originally going to get) so I figured going less would be ok.

A.) Will 1000 watt be plenty and if so do you know of a better powersupply around the same price range? (I like pretty lights lol)

B.) Will I be able to go even lower then 1000 and save a bit more?

C.) Should Stick with the 1200 watt and once again if so any recomendations of qaulity with a decent price?

 

If someone does help me it would be nice if you drop me a message saying you replied cause i don't check sticky's often. Thank yous! ^.^

EDIT:  Also my case is a fucking huge full tower so i don't need to worry about wires.
