Corsair ,Thermaltake, Coolermaster or EVGA all will do perfectly with a 1200 watt fully modular gold certified 80+ efficiency. If you under volt your RX 480 cards then even a 900-1000 watt PSU of the above brands will do quite well for you.

and all those psu brands you just mentioned are all an easy $150+ brand new, cheaper to get a 1200w hp server grade psu for 30 dollars and a breakout board for 20 dollars, leave you room for a 20 dollar pico and extra to buy cables if you need to and still come out lower than what it takes to buy a new atx psu, at most 90 dollars. you wont find any of those brands in 1200w for that low of a price lol, close ive come to that is the rosewill brand 1200w psu, I only know that because I bought one which cost me about $139, ive also picked up the hp 1200w server psu and breakout board for 50 dollars on ebay, pico cost me $14, I don't need cables as I custom make my own. total cost there is 64 dollars compared to $139+

p.s. hp 1200w server psu I have is platinum rated at 92 percent efficiency

If he uses 900-1000 watt psu, this will not leave enough room for power strikes. I'm using 6 gpu setup with EVGA P1200 and only after undervolting I'm pulling around 800 watts. If I go agressive it allows me to get better values from wall but my rig starts crashing after 10-12 hours.

What  power supply im need for buildone rig with 6 rx 480 cards?

1000 ? 1200 ?

Thanks

1000w isn't enough. 1200 is good and will leave you with some overhead so psu isn't running at 100% all the time

if you don't mind some noise from the fans grab a hp 1200w server grade psu and breakout board. you will also need a pico psu plus cables for the gpus to plug into the breakout board for the hp 1200w psu, all can be found on ebay for cheaper than what it costs to buy a brand new 1200w atx psu
