Good 750w + PSU

[Escapenz]

So i might go crossfire with 280x unless i get a 970 or 290 and i think i might want to get a new psu before i do. So i need a hand picking a good 750 + PSU, i don't mind of the price but cheaper is better Thank you all and have a good day

The Corsair CX850 appears to be good, I've had no issues since I bought mine 2 weeks ago.

Oh that looks sexy

You should never skimp on the psu. The Corsair CX is a low end unit. If you plan on getting a GTX 970 or R9 290 then get yourself a quality psu. It will save you money in the long run.

Its still not as bad as a VS (I've got one-its probably the reason why I had to RMA my second GTX 970), and its not skimping when it costs $149 for one.

The price tag doesn't reflect the quality though. Corsair power supplies tend to be overpriced anyway. 

 

The CX is entry level. You only have to look at reviews on Jonnyguru if you want proof.

Hmmm, I never saw those articles when I was Googling reviews, I'll read them now then.

EVGA makes a good 750W one with 80+ bronze efficiency and semi modular and another with 80+ gold efficiency and fully modular, about $15-20 more.

Thank you very much Ill just need to work out if 850 watts can maybe run dual 290 (only if they can support directx 12  when it come out) or sli 970

[RazerZ]

970 sli or 290 cf, which is it?

[Dimwitted]

EVGA G2 units are what you need. Forget everything else. Price to performance is unbelievable.

Its plenty, so you don't need to worry, you could even overclock both R9 290/gtx 970.

Either way, 850W is plenty.

Can you buy from Australia without incurring any extra charges ? (Apart from delivery)

[KRImSIN]

RM 750w corsiar.

[Dimwitted]

RM 750w corsiar.

No. There's far better for the money and there's even better for less money. The G2 for instance.
