Can you guys recommend a PSU?? I believe that 750W should be enough but what brand and what model would you recommend?? Thanks for your help!

Unless you may sli in the future, a 650W would be fine, and there is a list of psu's in my sig tier 1 or 2 would be recommended.

 

My personal preference is the G2 from EVGA, as it has very clean power output

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ Tier Breakdown (My understanding)--1 Godly, 2 Great, 3 Good, 4 Average, 5 Meh, 6 Bad, 7 Awful

You can run fine with a 600w one

Personal fav's are Antec, xfx, evga, and seasonic

Check out my PSU whitelist that's in my sig!

Oh thanks man! With regards to EVGA's PSUs, I've noticed that they are among the cheaper options. Is this a case where you are getting what you pay for or are they generally among the best?? I know they were in your whitelist but I was just checking.

In general, you pay more, you get more with PSUs, but there are ones that cost more simply because of the name brand (Corsair, for example, who sells lots of good PSUs but for more than many other equivalent ones from other brands). With EVGA they have mainly the good stuff in their more expensive lineups, bar the B2. The B2 is good and pretty cheap.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
