Current parts: i5 3470, AMD R9 285 GPU, 8gb RAM, 128gb SSD & a 1TB WD Blue


Was looking at maybe getting this?: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-True-Power-650W-Supply/dp/B00HGFYGOS/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE


Or this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Modular-Bronze-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1433163888&sr=1-1&keywords=modular+psu


Any recommendations/ advice appreciated!

Both of those PSU's seem fine. Refer to this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html It will show you what's good and bad

The Antec one you have there is tier 2 which is perfect for price and quality

CPU: i5-4690K @ 4.0GHz GPU: Gigabyte Gtx 970 WindForce MOBO: Gigabyte Z97 Gaming-3 CASE: Corsair Carbide 200R PSU: Corsair RM750

 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GBx4  MOUSE: CM Mizar KEYBOARD: Logitec G110

Either one is probably fine.

 

I would probably go for the Corsair one, but that's just me.

 

However, in case you are interested in nice cables: Maybe step up to an RM 650 or something similar. I don't know what kind of case you have, and if it has a window I would highly recommend getting a PSU with nice cables included. Extensions are definitely more expensive than buying a PSU with nice cables right away. I wish I had done that....

The Antec TruePower Classic will destroy the Corsair CX. It performs around the level of the HX.
