Help me choose.

What I can include as I own a pair of these little guys eat power. During benchmarking card 1 was sitting at 331 and card 2 277.. so that is a whopping 608 watts... and I know they can pull even more. You add a 125 watt CPU to this and 8 gigs of ram.. my total system wattage has his 1154 watts. Thats dangerously close to peaking out my 1200 watt PSU.

Yeah, seen reviews of seriously hot cards, but 1200 should be enough unless you stress your cards to the max with benchmarking.
