Just a quickie...

[Felice]

I'm ordering the Corsair 250d and a Corsair RM550 power supply, I'm going to be running a single GTX760 probably so won't need much more power etc

Is there a better power supply to use that's fully modular ?

Thanks

Also... could I get away with a RM450 ?

You could definitely get away with an RM 450

 

In terms of a better PSU, i don't think there is one at that price point

You need to tell more information, before we can suggest you something.

the RM 550 is fine and im sure you would be ok with the RM450

I'll be using a 4670k, 2x4gb 1600mhz ram, corsiar h60...

You'd be ok with 450. The RM is a great PSU too btw. If you're going with 450 you'll be limited in overclocking though, and since you've got an unlocked processor and a water cooling I'm guessing you were going to, at least a little.

If not a problem (it's a $10 difference) I'd still get the 550W, just to be sure and because that PSU is silent while not under a good % of its maximum output.

Dat title... also you're fine with the RM550(even the 450).

The Corsair CX500M would be enough. It's pretty much Modular except for the 24 pin input

Haha thanks guys ! Seems like the 550w might be the better option, now I just need to decide on a Motherboard

May as well just stick with the 550, it carries enough to allow for more storage drives if you choose to add them and maintains head room for overclocking of the gpu and cpu. It could still manage on the 450, but over time PSU's put out less wattage, people buy bigger and better parts and both of these combined can potentially cause you to need a bigger PSU in future.

It's a good psu and having the extra 100 watts available wont make it draw more power from the wall or anything, unless your pc requires it to, so you will be fine.

Glad we could help, mark it as "answered" to let others know.

no he won`t be limited in nothing with a good 450W psu. not even with a gtx 770 . with his current specs and the cpu oc to 4.X,the rig would use ~250W

TTL ran an i5, a GTX 780, a H100i and a few drives with the RM450 with no problems, the system pulled 419 watts from the wall at load.

You can get for a cheaper price better quality psu's than the RM series like this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550bbefx
