He wants the Core i7 930 n a GTX 460. Along the line he would probably SLI with another. One PSU we looked at was a Corsair 850W. He plans to OC his CPU n GPU eventually. He will show me a list of parts that i will make a new thread about for opinions. For now, my first question is would he have enought power to sustain a Core i7 930 OCed, 2 GTX 460s possibly OCed, n his motherboard? (other parts shouldnt be a problem).
 
yup no worries there, like muffin man said ud probably be safe with a 750. but make sure you dont skimp on the powersupply and get a crapy one. get a good name brand one and save your self thje head aches

that's total system power draw during furmark (during crysis it's about 100w less). he'll be fine with a 750w, unless he's really paranoid or something.
