Yes that is fine. From doing a personal add up 650W will suffice but if 750 is what they have then I would take it.

[FatPenguin]

it won't hurt anything but your wallet.

awesome then, do you think its a fast replacement? like should i replace my psu? and how long does it take?

[rassem]

is the bad smell normal that comes out of the psu??

[FatPenguin]

if it smells like melting plastic then unplug the PSU immediately 

[rassem]

like take the whole psu out completely? or just the wire from the socket?

[FatPenguin]

the cord that plugs into the wall.

Yeah apart from the fact that you need a PSU, if you mean swap the whole unit out? Yes you should.

[rassem]

the cord that plugs into the wall. 

yea i did that, how do i know it did not affect any other components? like everythng looks fine lol except the bad smell from the psu specifically.

[FatPenguin]

whats does it smell like. does it smell like burning plastic if so try to get a new unit.

yea looks like am getting a new unit now. but which 750w should i got for? brand recommended?

corsair, EVGA or seasonic they make pretty nice PSUs

appreciate it man, gona head out now to get one, will be back shortly

EVGA or Seasonic are no doubt among the best PSUs.

[FatPenguin]

EVGA or Seasonic are no doubt among the best PSUs.

I wish seasonic would get some more fame.

@rassem

That format hurts my eyes. Let me see, your specs are?:

 

CPU: i5 2500K

MB: ASUS P8Z68-V Pro

RAM: 2x4 GB 

GPU: GTX 580

Storage: 60 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD

 

If yes it'll take around 370 W or less, even a nice 500 W PSU is enough.

I suppose its what they make, like many don't know they sell a keyboard. There are not enough products to market on about. Though it remains at the top of the line on PSUs since they focus so much on them. 

[rassem]

i just got the 750w evga and i replaced it and everything went well, but the buzzing sound from the psu is back..any idea why?

370? the calculator said 500 is the minimum. so i added a 100, but where i am there isnt 600w i only found 750w.

Nothing is blocking the fan?

no not really, blocking as in something is right infront of it and touching it??

You probably have coil whine coming from your GPU.

Calculator. That's your problem.

A calculator just sums pre-established values, like for example the power a PCIe power connector can deliver. 

 

The way A PSU calculator will give you a result about your PC:

GPU-> it has 1x6 Pin Power connector and 8 Pin. 75 W (slot)+75 W (6 Pin) + 150 W (8 Pin) = 300 W. So according to a calculator the GPU will draw 300 W

CPU-> Usually for high end they set at 100 W

MB-> 50 W

Storage and other devices: 25 W

300 + 100 + 50 + 2x25 = 500 W ACCORDING TO A CALCULATOR

 

A 580 takes around 250 W, then add 80 W for CPU and rest of craps like HDD and MB so that's why I said around 370 W. You know, with a single 550 W PSU you'd run a single GPU setup with an i7 and Titan X, that's why I linked that PSU for your setup, it's a good price, good quality and if you're gaming it's going to be near the 50 % load, so it'll be also in the best efficiency spot.

what is that??
