Posted October 22, 2013 TX650V2, XFX Pro 650 and I believe the Hale 82 are all based on the Seasonic platform.

Posted October 22, 2013 Seasonic X650 Gold is the best 650W psu imo. Hello and Welcome to LTT Forum! If you are a new member, please read the rules located in "Forum News and Info".

Posted October 22, 2013 Corsair RM650 But the RM power supplies have shitty, cheap CapXxon capacitors as their secondary capacitors. That's a no-no, especially with a low fan usage supply.

Posted October 22, 2013 500W should be fine for a 7970, but the SeaSonic X650 or SSR-650RM would be a good pick. Forum Rules | Guide to Display Cables / Adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 23, 2013 A quality 500w would work for your system; however, A 500w unit from Cooler Master? If it's the same unit I am thinking about, it isn't by any means a quality unit. Anyways, what is your budget range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
