Need a new PSU! Please Help

[ShabbirKAN]

hello people of LTT,

 

Recently i bought a new EVGA 780 classified and am in need of a new power supply. I have been looking around but not sure what company would be the best option and how much wattage. I was thinking around a 650 range. 

 

My specs are : 2600k @ 3.4 ghz (will overclock to 4.4 later), ASUS p8z68-pro mobo, Cooler Master 212 evo, Samsung 840 pro 256GB, WD cavier Blue 1TB and of course the 780.

 

 

Does anyone have a recommendation. I prefer Gold rating for the PSU. I know seasonic is an awesome company but they are pricey. if anyone else knows a great company let me know. I also prefer a longer life span for the PSU so that in the future i wont have to change it. 

 

 

Thanks,

 

SHABS

This is what you need: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438026&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Corsair RM Series are all Gold Rated

Corsair AX Series are all Platinum Rated

 

They both have 5 year warranties and a very speedy RMA with Corsair. I'd recommend about 600-700w for your computer, so that you have headway for overclocking and an extra card later Use something like Coolermaster's PSU Calculator.

A bit overkill IMO

If you don't plan to add a second 780, then a 550W Rosewill Capstone or Seasonic G will be perfect.

If you don't plan on adding second one, get the Seasonic 550RM, else get the Evga 750W G2.
