I'm currently planning my new Rig and I need a little help on the Power Supply.

Specs :
 

Corsair Obsidian 450D

Intel Core i5-4690k
Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark1

Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Edition
8GB (2x4gb) Crucial Tactical Tracer 1600mhz RAM
(X2) Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5" SATA III

NZXT Kraken X61

 

I'm planning to overclock both CPU and GPU, Can you guys suggest a power supply around 100 - 120usd and good for overclocking?
oh and if it's an 80+ Gold PSU that would be nice. :D Thanks in Advance.

Do you have an SSD? If not it's well worth investing in and cutting down on some other things instead (such as the CPU cooler and cheaper RAM with the same performance)

 

As for the PSU the XFX 550W 80+ bronze selling for $25 after rebates would fit you perfectly. At your price range it's not worth spending over $100 on a PSU. Besides, that XFX PSU is an excellent deal, it's a Seasonic unit that normally costs $80 but rebranded as XFX.

I'm planning to get a Corsair Force LX 256GB SSD Soon but I'm not really in a rush for such. BTW can you send me a link on the PSU? :D

The CX series is good for stuff like this, personally I have a Coolermaster V750 myself and I have had no problems with it though

This is probably the best PSU for 2 way SLI in the USA at the moment for the price. Super Flower OEM and it's truly solid. Unless of course you do not live in the USA, in which case this would be useless to you.

@TS

I actually could agree more on this. for the price this one is good. don't let the semi-Modular pull you back ts.

 

pretty much all the stuff you need is already there and the modular part are pretty much extra shit you could or not use bro :)

Live your life like a dream.
