Choose a PSU from here between tier 1 and 3. http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

 

For that setup, you wont need more than a quality 500W PSU, if you want to SLI later on, a 750W would be a good future proof PSU.

 

edit. What PSU do you have now?

wow i was told by a pc store that i would need at least a 700watt for the evga GTX760

I would go for number 2 (22745) or buy a nice corsair power supply like a AX or HX, CX series, or Coolermaster gold 650 is also nice, Silverstone also rocks.

I have in my system a Corsair ax 850, very nice powersupply and ultra silent, nice sleeved cables, but the other power supply's are top notch to.

Dont buy a cheapo b-brand psu, they are crap.

 

Keep in minde if you want to expand your system in the future with extra hardware or overclock buy a powersupply with a bit more punch 700/ 800 watt, so that you are on the safe site. ;) 

 

A bit more expencive but plenty of power and modular. ;)

I would recommend the Super Flower Golden Green 600w. Quite a bit overkill for a single card setup like yours but it doesn't cost too much more than other lower quality units such as the XFX Core Edition 550w, Antec HCG-520, etc.

You don't need anywhere near a 700 watt for a single 760. You can run high end dual overclocked cards on a good 850 watt PSU.

 

If you're really on a budget, then I'd recommend the Corsair CX600. NCIX have a pretty good deal on the modular version right now, with a $20 mail in rebate.

I would actually get the TX550m over it: http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=62824&vpn=CP-9020001-NA&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1336

It offer better capacitor choice, fan, and electronics than the CX600 for cheaper.

 

However, since he is from Australia, he will not be able to buy that deal.

Ah, good point, didn't notice that.

 

In that case, I back what quan289 says. Probably best to go with the series up and drop the wattage slightly.

thanks heaps for the help guys
