Changing my XFX 750w PSU.

[MoonShine]

Good day to you linustechs out there, i need some advice about my upcoming psu "upgrade".

I just bought a MSI 780 gaming gpu for my rig.

And specs are:

Intel i7 oc to 4.2

Sabertooth z77 mobo

CM seidon 240m cpu cooler

2 - 140 mm Fractal D quiet fans

2 - 120 mm Noctua NF-F 12 fans

1 SSD

2 HHD

1 soundcard

Fan controller

........

Before i got the 780 card i had a 660 ti and everything was great, after the gpu swap my psu XFX ProSeries XXX Edition 750w (bronze) is sounding like a chopper. I looked up on some forumes (not only this one) and my cpu should handle this. But noe i getting a bit nervous becouse of the noise under heavy load.

Thinking of going up to a 1000W psu (gold)

What would u guys pick ?

Im looking in the 200 $ range.

Here in sunny hot Norway im looking at the Corsair RM1000 and the EVGA Supernova g21000w.

Any thoughts?

I an in need of some tips on this one!

Thanks!!

1000w is way overkill for single GPU just get a good quality 750W like the RM 750

Your power supply is already more than enough in terms of power, you should give it for RMA. What's your case?

Hi.

Case is Fractal Design Def R4.

I just assumed that is was because of the gpu upgrade. The XfX psu is 2 years + old.

XFX PSU's have 5 year warranty, RMA.

A 780 likely won't even use 300W. The system should be able to run perfectly well on 500W. It's not the Wattage.
