Urgent PSU Question

[Pickelhaube]

So I am wondering if I should get the

 

Corsair RM850x (More PCIe Connectors)

 

or the

 

Corsair RM750x (A few less PCIe Connectors)

 

for my build. I am currently sporting an Antec HCG 620w which I have run out of plugs to plug stuff into. I have looked around and seen that the 750x, 650x, and 550x all have the same amount of PCIe Power plugs, and I am not sure if there are enough of them to suit my needs. 

 

Antec Page - It appears that It has 4 PCIe Power connectors, and 2 Sata connectors. This is just not enough for me and I would like to at least have 6 or 8 PCIe connectors.

 

Note: I need to get an RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi PSU because I recently got myself a set of C-Series Cablemod cables. Thanks.

Well, it really depends on how much power your PC needs. What are the specs of it?

AMD FX-8370 @ 4.6GHz, GTX 760 (Gonna get a 1070 at christmas), Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, A fan controller (1 molex), 6 fans, NZXT Hue+, tell me if i need to list more.

Why did you buy yourself a set of cables for a PSU you don't have?

I was originally a winner of this PC I got to choose, but it turned out that the person giving it away decided to go under the radar. So, what PSU should I get?

Why do you need more connectors? The HCG is a fine PSU

 

If you do get an RMx get the 650W or the 750W if it's not much more than the 650

I need more connectors because I have run out of available ones. Simple enough? I'm just asking how many more PCIe connectors the 650 or 750w have or if I need an 850w.

Why do you need 6 PCI-E connectors though?

Most people are fine with 2, 4 if you SLI

PCIe is what they are called, but are usually used for peripherals too. I just need more. Now, is the 750w or the 850w going to be better? (On newegg, the 650w and 750w are the same price)

I'd got the 750W

The 850w is only $10 more. Would it be worth it for like 4 more pcie connectors?

[MisterMK3]

I mean, if we're only talking about $10 here, and you're concerned about the number of connections, this seems like a pretty simple decision. Just my two cents.

For $10, yeah. Get the 850W

Although do look at an EVGA 850W P2, if it's around the same price it's a good value proposition.

 

And please for the love of all things don't buy cables for a PSU that you don't own.

Can't, I want to use my cablemod cables.

PCIe cables are for graphics cards. SATA (Or Molex) is used for peripherals.

One of the two has 5 SATA headers, which is only really necessary if you run a ton of drives or have single SATA connectors

The power connectors on the 750w and 850w.

Sorry for replying after so long, but yesterday I ordered the RM1000x because it was $120, the same price as the 850w and 750w on Newegg. You can't go wrong with more watts... Or can you? Did I do the right thing? Im thinking that for the same price, since the PSU's fan wont kick on until about 400w, I might as well get the bigger one since the smaller psus' fans would kick on a bit earlier...

RM1000x for $120 is a pretty good value.

[the7sensez]

Congrats on the RM1000X for $120. You can also hook up your microwave to that PSU so that all of that wattage is used in a proper and safe manner

 

Really though, it is highly likely that you will rarely jump over 300W, so it's like you're going to hunt rabbits with a howitzer

 

The plus side is that the PSU will be silent. If you're planning a home server with multi-GPU and loads of storage, then you're all set.

[carsonwen]

You should consider the RMi series if the price is similar, which includes corsair link monitoring and a slightly better fan.

I would get the RM850i

Nah, I'm okay, plus my cablemod set doesnt come with a sleeved link cable, just a rubber one anyways. Plus, you can always say that you have a 1 kilowatt psu!
