So this is the setup that I was planning on running but I'm having doubts about the PSU. Everything else is purchased but I'm now thinking that 620W won't be enough if I ever want to overclock and crossfire, but I'm not 100% I want to do that. Should I just bite the bullet and get a higher wattage unit now or wait until I'm sure and then pick one up?
I'd love some PSU recommendations because I'm going solely off newegg reviews right now.
