Thumbs down None is a good answer!

If you insist, the the TT Toughpower's, built by CWT are the only TT PSU's that can be recommended. The CWT PSH 1200W models being their best.

Why do you want a TT?

if you're going to have only that hardware that you listed there a corsair hx650 should be more than enough. the tx650 is also a good choice. But definately stick to the brands of corsair and seasonic for best results

Excellent choices, the 850W will be fine for 4890 CF even with high aggressive OC'es.

Pc Power and Cooling is also an excellent choice. I will only personally use Corsair, or preferably PC Power and Cooling (corsair is still excellent, i have no specific reason for my preferance). Say no to thermaltake unless you have no option.

edit: beat me to it!

You can throw my vote to the Corsair as well. I'm using the 1000HX and think it's the best built & designed PSU I've owned in all the PSU's I've had. That includes audio equipment, Ham Radio gear, computers etc.

Talking

But the Tt Toughpower XT 750W is 80+ Bronze and it got Cable management.
And it is cheaper,
$99.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...er%20XT%20750W


CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX is $119.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...orsair%20850tx


Maybe you can think about it......

The original XT's were expensive and poor performing. This is no longer the case.

Thumbs down Dr. Frankenstein please report to surgery!

Since the OP posted on "09-26-09, 04:03 AM" and the last timely response was made on "09-28-09, 06:45 AM", I imagine that the OP has already made his decision & purchased his PSU, prices have long since changed & we are resurrecting the dead.
