What PSU?

PC is purely for gaming.

Running 1x970 at the moment and will be getting another in the next few months

 

I was going for the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 Power Supply but no one seems to stock it here in my country, the one supplier says they will find out when they can get it.

Incase they cant im looking for an alternative

I was going to go for the CS750 but decided to go for a better one that is fully modular and has no fan mode for silence

I can get Corsair, Coolmaster very easily here and most of thier PSU's models

I can also get Antec and seasonic and EVGA but limited models and they are a bit more expensive.

 

Which of these would you recommend?

Corsair AX760

Corsair RM750

Then i dont know the Coolmaster PSU's very well so dont know what series to look at, needs to be modular and if it can have a zero fan mode that would be great

so any recommendations on a PSU would be appreciated

EVGA G2 750W. There is no contender at that wattage/price. Only the AX760/860 beat it but they are tons more expensive

 

EDit: Forgot to read lol

 

Edit 2: The coolermaster V850 is an amazing PSU. I do believe there is also a V750 but you'll need to check

If u read i want the G2 but doesnt look like i can get it here. AX760 is the same price as the HX750i so which one is better? or which series the HX or the AX

Hmmm... If you can't get the EVGA G2 then I'd recommend an XFX Black edition (XTR) PSU.

Cant get that brand here

Yeah, I already edited suggesting the Coolermaster V850/750 (If the 750 exists). As for corsair the AX series is the better series

Because the HX750i has a platinum rating, it's newer, the fan I believe is quieter than the HX750 and much much quieter than the RM or the AX and it has corsair link so it's a really good all around option

Can't what??

was a typing error :)

 

Original HX is semi-modular. You want full modular. HXi is full modular.

So its between the these two which are both $240 which would be better?

HX750i Corsair

V850 Coolmaster Vanguard

For that money I would go with the AX760.

Superflower Golden King 

Kingwin Lazer platinum

Lepa G series

Corsair AX series

Seasonic X series

NZXT hale series

HX750i or V750.

Antec HCP series is good. But the above mentioned are better at that price/wattage point.

Edit : If you want a PSU with LED fan, then Antec Edge are good.
