What power supply should i get?

[Ryan.L]

I have gtx 660ti's in SLI, and an I5 3570k. How many watts should my new power supply be? A reply would be much appreciated!

[UberFefa]

How many 660ti's? 2? Probably about 700w should be good, but you can check here to be sure

At least 700W power supply would do although you could get away with a high end 600ish watt power supply.

700 odd watts should do you. If you're budget restrained then my personal favourite is the Silverstone Strider Plus 750w because it's completely modular and only about $150 compared to the Corsair offerings of the same range that are normally about $200-$240. If you have a more relaxed budget, Corsair's AX and Seasonic XP are both quality units. The AX also has an AXi model variant which has their Corsair Link technology which allows software control of things like when the fan starts as well as monitoring for output. It is also compatible with other Corsair Link products such as their closed loop CPU coolers (H80i, H100i) and their fan controller. To be honest it's a lot of fuss about nothing because your motherboard probably has some form of fan control software and unless you've got a pretty high end system, the Link technology for a PSU is pretty pointless.

Looks like you are going to want a decent quality 600w PSU.

I'd drop that down to a TX750M - as pictured below you don't need the additional wattage. Damn you and your cheap pricing - they're like $170 over here..

Corsair AX650 / Seasonic X-650

Or you could pick something from FSP Aurum series

haha exactly windspeed Australia gets ripped off in every thing price wise.

I'd say a 650w unit should suffice, for around 120CAD I'd recommend either of these:

I agree with pretty much everything that's already been said. Quality over quantity. Get an Antec, Corsair, PCP&C, Seasonic, FSP, Super Flower, XFX 650W PSU and you will be very happy. Make sure the PSU is at least 80+ certified, preferably 80+ Silver, Gold or Platinum, but at least 80+.

Edit: You don't want too much wattage from a PSU, they run optimally when loaded 50%-80%. I would say your total wattage is somewhere between 550-600 so 650-750 would run optimally.

[MrspartanZ11]

something like 750w powersuppy or a really efficient 700/650w.. 660ti's dont consume that much power

[SSOB]

Corsair TX650M is the way to go imo
