PSU choice

So I found a Corsair CX Series CX750M 750 watts power supply 80 plus bronze and it is the same price for a Corsair CS650M watts 80 plus gold power supply.  I was wondering which one should I get, they are both semi modular and are both enough watts for my build.(my build is around 350 watts)

go bigger if it's the same price., you can upgrade later

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

What is it going to be powering?

 

The CX750M and CS650M is $99.99 CAD. I would recommend the EVGA Supernova 750 B2 in that price point. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

It's $79.99 after MIR, and it's a better build PSU.

IDK if it's build better, corsair is pretty solid.

 

cheaper is good though.

The EVGA Supernova 750w B2 uses full Japanese caps, a 2BB fan, is rated for 50C, and has a 5 year warranty. Despite it is rated for bronze, it can achieve silver. 2

The CX750M is rated for 30C, has a 3 year warranty, uses CapXon (Chinese), and sleeved bearing fan

The CS650M is a lower output unit, rated for 40C, has a 3 year warranty, Taiwanese Teapo, and sleeved bearing fan.

My cpu is a Intel i5 4460 or a AMD 8350, and my gpu is a Asus Gtx 970

If you need modular: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

 

If you can live without: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-tp750c

The OP is from Canada, btw. Had verified it in his/her previous thread. That TP750C is an excellent deal though.

Do you have plans to put in a second 970 in SLI? Either way, the 750w B2 I had recommended will power that system even if you do plan to SLI, and as stated already, it's a better build PSU than the ones you are looking at.
