Power, woes.

[Mkfish]

So after I installed my new R9 290 this morning I fired up my PC in delight only for my PSU to explode after running Watch_Dogs for less than 5 minutes.

Can anyone recommend me a PSU that is going to power:

AMD FX8320 OC/4.3GHz

R9 290

6x 120mm LED fans

2x 140mm fans

2x HDD

1 SSD

Kraken AIO CPU water cooler

I also need the PSU to have headroom for another R9 290 later down the line, and for it to be as cheap as possible since I just spent all my money on the new GPU.

I've a budget of roughly £100.

Thanks in advance!

A Seasonic, cheap and good. A 660W should last 2 upgrades http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151121

Or at least Corsair VS series

I'd go with an AX860.

I'd go for the EVGA 850W G2. It has a 10 year warranty.

@Mkfish - The first PSU that comes to mind for your particular needs and gets high praise from me would be a Corsair RM Series PSU. To be exact, since you're going with a CrossFire in the future, I would go with an RM850. I just did a mock-up with your parts and you won't draw anywhere near 800W with a crossfire. I also did a mockup with high-drawing system, and it hit 848W with x2 R9 290's.

The reason I chose that one is because although it's slightly longer, it has a smaller height than say, my second recommendation. Both Newegg links below.

 

Here are the links:

• Corsair RM850

• Corsair AX860

Thanks for you input folks, just FYI I went with the EVGA supernova G2 850w. That price point, performance and 10 year warranty really makes it a stinkingly good value PSU.
