I have one in my system with a Crossfire setup. (Click my sig for pics of my rig
) I have yet to have any issues. As I posted in another thread, "I have a friend that reviews hardware as well, he tried blowing one of those Huntkey PSU's up with 3 x GTX 480's iirc, and was pulling 1100w off the wall socket.. He didn't blow the PSU in the end."
That was probably the older models yes, but the new ones rock!
Probably the best angle of my setup. I'll take more photo's tomorrow after I do some cable manangement
Eyefinity FTW.

Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 1000w
When i am in Cape Town and finished moving i will add a 3D monitor or a 27" monitor. Don't want to get it now just in case it gets damaged in the move.
the old rig. With the Coolermaster 600w Silent Pro
Forgot to mention that these pictures of the new rig were taken before i thought to put the GTX460 in for Physx. Next time i open my rig i will take a pic and post it again.

I would advise you to stay away from either of these units, seriously. The Odins are worse than the GXs, but neither is really up to the standard of a true 700w+ power supply. You'd do better with a CX600 than either of these. If it was Odin GT or a SilentPro Coolermaster then it would be a different story, but read the reviews on those models before buying please. I've had an Odin blow up on me before.

r1000 can still get a very good power supply. Unfortunately nobody here sells FSP but the FSP AU-700w is one of the best rated units on Tomshardware EVER and it's only $130.
If you can do without modular cable management, the FSP Aurum serves as a modern high-performance PSU at a very reasonable price of only $130. It comes out at the top of our comparison. It sets the bar especially high in terms of efficiency. Together with its quiet fan, the AU-700 is an excellent PSU.
TX650w r1021.

have a look here http://titan-ice.co.za/catalog/index.php?cPath=65_95 the Coolermaster Silent Pro 700w is only R300 over your budget. Maybe you should save just a little more for that. CM Silent Pro's are awesome. Speaking from experience.

I have to agree with this, stay away from the Gigabyte Odin PSUs, heard very bad things about them. I would personally recommend a Corsair PSU, but that is probably a little over your R1000 budget. Coolermaster has been suggested by a few people already, thats also a good choice

I linked to one Corsair PSU that was within his budget...the TX650. I reckon for r1k you can't do better here.
Sorry but the FSP model I can't find anywhere in this country
