Recommend me a PSU :)

[MadManMarsBar]

hi guys , i will be upgrading my PC soon and i need a PSU 

 

upgrade specs : 

 

AMD fx8350 @~4.5ghz

MSI M5A99FX R2.0 PRO 

2x GTX680 Direct CU ii maybe OC'ed

8gb corsair XMS3 ran

 

i was thinking the GS800 from corsair , would an EVGA 650w Gold PSU be enough ?

[_ASSASSIN_]

nope, would go 750-800w

I'd get something from Seasonic. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss750am This one is better than the Corsair PSU, it's also semi-modular so you get tidier cables.

not really, Semi modular will be a pain in the ass when you want to get individually sleeved cables, then you have to do some custom work, and then if you want a custom length, you need to mess with that also

With SLI GTX 680 Overclocked, 650W would probably be just enough. I would recommend anything 700-800W to be on the safe side, remember to get a high quality, well known PSU. (Seasonic, Corsiar... ect)

Well considering the OP considered a non-modular PSU I don't think that's much of a concern.

Better than the GS800 which is not modular at all. He also never said he'd be sleeving cables, but yeah that's true. 

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx He could get this if he wanted fully modular.

just saying it as a viable option

You could indeed power it on a quality 650w unit. I have done so on a Rosewill Capstone 650-M with i5-2500k overclocked. Considering that many people would like to have more piece of mind, 750w isn't a bad investment either.

 

The EVGA NEX650G/750G offer good efficiency and functionality due to full modularity; however, it is based on the group-regulated FSP Aurum Gold design, where it would offer mediocre performance in comparison to other PSU in the price range.

 

What country are you from, and what is your budget (in your currency)?

[zip2k4]

I'd be more comfortable with 750w or 800w, always check seasonics first

[Langdon]

Yeah, I agree. I didn't mean to sound like I was offended or anything, just saying points.

TX850 enough ?

Rather than enough, it's overkill. To be honest, at such an output, I would recommend getting at least semi-modular power supply. Having excess cables can be a little annoying when dealing with cable management. The Seasonic M12II Bronze 750w is good: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-seasonic-m1211-750w-hybrid-modular-80plus-bronze-120mm-silent-fan-sli-xfire-atx12v-eps12v-psu

ill be fine with cable management , by the time ive upgraded ill have a corsair Air 540

[Godlygamer23]

You may want to get a fully modular unit. Reason being is if the unit dies, you can simply disconnect the cables from the unit and ship it off and then once you receive the replacement, you can simply hook your cables back up to the unit without destroying cable management.

I'm upgrading soon and I Will be buying

Corsair CX 750M 80+ Bronze Modular.

[_ASSASSIN_]

Yeah, I agree. I didn't mean to sound like I was offended or anything, just saying points.

yay points

[BYOGamingPC]

I'd go with the Corsair TX750 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MYFODI/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B004MYFODI&linkCode=as2&tag=amzon0c-20

[mgsstar]

I would go with the XFX Core 750W or if you want one that is modular and has better 80+ certification go with the Seasonic X750 (SeaSonic SS-750KM3 750W)

[WoodenMarker]

This is plenty: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx

Cooler Master V850 fully modular and 80Plus Gold (it's based off the Seasonic KM3 platform and has great reviews)

Agree 100% with this guy, these are epic. Getting the 1000W myself when I get the bother and the momey for it. (yes, I know, overkill)

Newegg doesn't matter to me, I'm in Norway and the cheapest one here in Norway is 220 usd

 

jonnyguru did reviews (or rather, OklahomaWolf did reviews) of both the 1K watt and the 850 watt, http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=350 and http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=344

 

 

Also, I think ALL the V-series PSUs are epic, the 700 or the 850 are the best choices you can make IMO
