I thought I was pretty technical with everything.  Now I feel a fool!

AZZA PSAZ-850B14 Dynamo 850W

I got this on amazon for just a few dollars more than the cool master.  I upgraded 750 to 850 thinking I was using at the most 600, but as said I am using 650 watts now.  I JUST thought to look into what these 80 plus certifications mean... so my 850 psu really runs at just under 700 watts.  I think the labeling is ridiculous, but who am I to say.

As far as the x4 goes it was only $20 more than a cheaper anthlon so I thought why the hell not.  I am going to underclock the cpu and see if that helps at all.

So I am guessing I just probalby just step up to a 1000 watt psu, Although for the price of one I could just but a cheap used PC and run one of the video cards in that. 

I spent about $1300 building this system, and from doing more research after the fact I found I could have built 3 separate systems and had a 50% increase in Hashing power for cheaper!
