What are your build specs? What GPU are you planning on getting?

 

Honestly, the Corsair CX series aren't good.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

What are your system specs? What is your budget?

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

SeaSonic is known for great power supplies and this is a decent priced power supply for a 80+ bronze unit. If you want a modular unit it is about $20+ more. Good luck! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&cm_re=seasonic_620-_-17-151-096-_-Product

My pc specs are:

Asus Motherboard Z97-P

ASUS AMD Radeon R7 240 2 GB DDR3 Graphics Card (PCI Express 3.0, HDMI, DVI-D, 128-Bit, Dust-Proof Fan, GPU Tweak Utility)

Intel Core i7 i7-4790K CPU (Quad Core 4GHz, Socket H3 LGA-1150)

Corsair CW-9060021-WW Hydro Series H100i GTX High Performance All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler - 240 mm Radiator

DDR3 32GB RAM (4x8)

 

And i plan to buy over the year of having the pc i will buy second graphics card:

MSI AMD R7 370 Gaming Graphics Card (4 GB, OC, PCI-E 3.0, GDDR5, DVI-I, HDMI)

 

 

So what power supply should i get so that i would not have to change it over the year and keep it even when i get the graphics card ?

Do you have those parts already? If not, what is the intended used of this computer? If this is primarily a gaming rig, you could save a good deal of money getting 8GB-16GB of RAM instead and getting an i5 4690k instead and investing in a more powerful GPU now.

 

Generally speaking, a quality 550w should be plenty for a single GPU setup. Can you provide a link to the store you are buying from, so we know what's available to you?
