Hi, I don't know what PSU to get for my new build, if anybody could help, that would be great thanks! I want the PSU to either be semi-modular or modular.

 

The build will consist of:

  • Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket 1155
  • MSI R9 270X GAMING 2GB
  • AsRock B75 Pro3-M Socket 1155
  • 8GB G-Skill Ripjaw-X RAM 1333MHz
  • Crucial 120GB M500 SATA 6Gbps 2.5 SSD
  • Seagate 2TB BARRACUDA 3.5- SATA-III HDD

This will be housed by a Corsair 350D which I already have but I'm just not sure what PSU to use. Any help would be great, thanks!

AX1500i IS THE ONLY PSU YOU CAN GET

 

But seriously, a 500-600 watt from any of the companies @AlwaysFSX said. I would say this is a good choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139048&cm_re=CX600m-_-17-139-048-_-Product

CPU: i7-4770k CPU Cooler: NH-D14 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb GPU: EVGA Superclocked 780 ti MOBO: ASUS Maximus VI Gene PSU: Corsair RM 850 Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M

@AlfieHD Also might help if you follow your thread that way you can be notified when someone replies :) You'd be surprised how many of these people get help and we neeeeeeeeeveeeeeeer hear from them again, until they make another topic because they didn't check the first.

Thanks guys! Sorry I didn't set up the notification thing, left it for 5 minutes and it's great to see the fast responses!

 

This is the PSU I'll probably buy, thanks again for the amazingly speedy response!

The CXM Series you're considering is good. After quickly browsing ebuyer, I can't find any other units I would recommend, especially for that price.
