But once capacitors start aging over time and since power supplies don't usually die too quickly, I want it to be able to power my next system as well down the track (if connectors allow). I'd rather spend the extra $100 for some extra overhead rather than spending another 200-350 on a more powerful PSU. You never know what power drainage future hardware will impose. Thanks for your insight WoodenMarker.

I figured I'll probably go for a Corsair RM750/850 or a SeaSonic X750/850. Thanks for your help guys.

I honestly don't think 650W will be sufficient, because I overclocked my CPU, and I plan on OCing my GPUs when they're in dual SLI and I'm wanting to add more hard drives/SSD/etc. in the future. Just want a bit more wattage overhead. I think I'll settle for the Corsair RM850 or a SeaSonic X850.

Hi everyone, ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, I've had a lot of compatibility issues. 1. Java in any web browser is not running properly. 2. My Logitech C520 webcam does not work in any Metro app or desktop program except for the Camera app. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting drivers. the whole lot. 3. My taskbar (explorer.exe) randomly restarts itself. Anyone else have similar problems? Anyone have solutions/suggestions for these problems?

Most likely from one of my local computer shops in Sydney, Aus Otherwise, maybe NCIX or Newegg and get a friend to bring it over.

Yeah, I got really lucky with my chip. It's amazing; I could probably push it more, because it's still hovering around 70C (158F) on max load but it wouldn't make much difference in performance. Looking forward to custom water-cooling loop once I have the need, energy, time and money (mostly for the fun of it).

Yes, dual SLI

I edited my post Thanks for pointing it out, I missed it.

Hey everyone, so recently, I've decided to swap out my i5-4670 with a i5-4670k to overclock for image/video editing and AutoCAD. [you can see my rig here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/page-186#entry1410464] I OC-ed it to 4.7GHz with a Corsair H60 SE cooler. Now, I'm thinking of Dual SLI GTX 760s, but I highly doubt my Seasonic 620W would be able to cope. Any suggestions on a 750W or 850W PSU? Preferably from Corsair, Seasonic, FSP or Silverstone. If possible, also include why you recommend it over other options. Budget would be hard to define, probably <200USD or <250AUD (I'm Australian and our prices are ridiculous D:) Thanks!

Which is why manufacturers put so much effort into their mid-tier products like Intel i5, nVidia GeForce x60/x70, the list goes on.. My current build is basically everything that's mid-tier at the moment: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/page-186#entry1410464

Indeed. Waiting for new technologies to drop in price in due time, for example 4K monitors, in time, it'll become mainstream.

How adventurous

But since 2014 is the year of DDR4, we should be looking forward to the newer modules. Let's hope it's not too dear when it releases.

It's going to get a lot harder, considering everything's being released faster and faster. I try to upgrade, however, it's probably more efficient to wait until your computer can't handle the programs/rendering/games at the time, and just rebuild from scratch. This is especially true as sockets are constantly changing and as well as new protocols. Such as 2014 seeing DDR4 RAM, mSATA storage and maybe USB 3.1. Just my two cents.

My main rig.
