I like the looks of the TX950W. Like I said I have history with the corsair. Originally I thought I was going to need to go with the Corsair HX1000W but it did seem a bit pricey. If I could get away with the TX950W, save a few dollars, yet still have power as needed than I could live with that and the non modular design.
I'm still leaning on that 5870, which I dont know yet, have not gotten to that point of progress. But I dont think Ill be running 3 30 inch monitors. Running a 24 inch now and more than likely would add 2 more 24 inch monitors. Again, who knows what the future brings and my 3 screen setup may never happen but it wouldnt be a bad idea on my part to be prepped for it if its financially doable now. Its new to me as Ive been out of it for a few years so Im leaning on the community to keep me from falling off track.
