I have had to RMA many silverstones....

I've had to RMA many things, but this Silverstone 1500W has lasted quite a few years now, and has had quad GTX260's, GTX470's, GTX570's and most recently Titans.

+ high end CPU's, RAID arrays and fully watercooled.

Not for mining no, for Folding.

Enhance are the OEM for the Strider 1500W, they also make the high end Coolermaster PSU,s

I am about to buy a new PSU for my pc and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Silverstone Strider 1500W PSU. Also what kind of a UPS should I buy? I currently have 2 GTX 780 and thinking of getting either a GTX 780 more or 2 GTX 750ti. Also a CPU AMD FX 8350. Will that PSU be ok? Thanks in advance!

If you have 3 GTX 780 that's great for gaming. They mine rather terribly. Factor 250-300w per GPU.
If you're getting 2 GTX 750 Ti, they are about 60-80w each full load. You could run 5 of them on a 600w PSU.

What hash they have for scrypt? I already had the two gtx 780...

Lepa 1600 is the best deal for your setup.

the LEpa one was in my choices but never heard of it so i didnt mention it... Thanks I ll look it up... It's cheaper than the Silverstone surprisingly...

read the newegg reviews.. i wouldn't buy it

I would recommend SeaSonic.. but since they decided to use ribbon cables on many of their psus.... i have only gotten corsairs lately.. and only the ones with the pci cables that are sleeved.

Thanks guys... I see some people being very happy and some not with Silverstone... I RMA'd a Coolermaster 850 and gave me the option to upgrade. Yes mining...

Maybe you can try LEPA 1600W PSU, seems to be a good PSU.

I ran 4 Titans off a Strider 1500W with a 3930KCPU and X79 mobo so you should be fine, not the most efficient as its only Silver but it will work no problem.
