Hi guys and girls, I am i need of help. 

 

I am buying an AMD R9 280X Gpu and a new PSU today.

Also will these PSU's work with this card?!

 

-COOLERMASTER G750M HYBRID MODULAR 80 PLUS BRONZE

-CORSAIR RM 80 PLUS GOLD

I am confused with Single/Dual rail etc does it matter?

Its gonna be a 750w since I may wanna crossfire 2 cards in the future 

I would get a better quality power supply for crossfiring. Something 80+ gold is recommended, but don't get the Corsair RM, it is a waste of money.

 

Consider the likes of the Rosewill Capstone, EVGA G2, Seasonic G, and XFX XTR

 

The NEX750B isn't that great.

I dont like my RM1000, but the 450, 550 and 650W are very good PSUs if u get a good deal on them
