YES YES I know I dont need a 750 watt but idc just make it above 650 because I might get sli/crossfire sometime in the future!!!

 

So what do you think I should do? I have heard RM series by corsair is good and so is EVGA but idk which one lol? oh yea the evga g2 750 seems pretty sik 2

 

All help would be massively appreciated and anyone who helps me out will get +1 owl points and a funny owl meme

RM is overpriced, EVGA is good. Get a 650 now, if you're 100% sure about another GPU get a 750 now.

[CommandMan7]

I own an RM650i, and the corsair link tool is invaluable. It runs nicely and shows me that I have enough room for potential SLI. If you can afford it, the 7 year complete warranty and great corsair support is worth the extra $.

[Naeaes]

It's PSU (Power Supply Unit)

 

You should take another look at what you buy and where. For example the Hyper 212 EVO is nowhere near worth 65 dollars (!?!) Nor is it even close to the quality of the ones that are.

PCU??????

[don_svetlio]

the VSM you currently have is better than the RM, by quite a bit

Do you think you could maybe directly send me a link to something you think would suit my needs? would this be ok?

 

The thing is I don't really know if I am going to upgrade to crossfire or sli, I am not sure I might and might not depending on life basically so do you think it would be safe going for a 750 watt since the pricing is literally pretty much the same?

For the same price he can get a SeaSonic X-series which is a much better platform

The CM VSM is already a fantastic unit - why do you want a different one?

[theereal]

Hate to be "that guy" but its PSU (Power Supply Unit)

For the same price as the CM VSM the EVGA G2 is a better unit.

It's a great PSU by Enhance Electronics - all around solid unit with good build quality, If you want something cheaper then look at EVGA G2/GS, XFX PSUs (SeaSonic Rebrainds) or Antech HCG line.

For the same price as the CM VSM the EVGA G2 is a better unit.

G2 is Super Flower, VSM is Enhance - both are solid

For the same price why would you get the inferior VSM unit ? It is a good psu, but the G2 is better.

Both are solid - whatever he wants, it's his call.

For some reason it does not show up in my compatibility list in pcpartpicker D:

Yea I don't really care about a 2% difference just want it to work fairly efficiently

If it's cheaper I guess I will bounce around with either the one I have right now or this one?

The EVGA G2 is one of the best for it's price/performance. If it was more expensive then it would be harder to recommend, but at the same price it is a no brainer.

G2 is very solid - based on the Leadex platform by Super Flower. Can't go wrong with either really.

If you have a time machine, you should go back in time and get a EVGA Supernova P2 750 watts for $89 + tax after rebate.  I got mine from newegg.
