hey guys im new to the forums and was looking for a bit of help on a psu.

 

Dont want to get something that wont get used fully, building my first system and need something that will run a maximus gene vi, i5-4760k and a gtx 760, likely to overclock the cpu aswell.

okay guys thanks, i wouldnt have got anything that wasn't 80+ certified just having trouble deciding on brand, was looking at corsair, be quiet or seasonic?

Go for the cooler master GX II series? They're pretty good, even the GX I series are pretty nice!

hey guys found a couple of 650w psu that are both around £80, out of the 2 which one would u recommend, xfx xxx edition 650 or the tx650

 

The XFX XXX 650W is a Seasonic M12II 80+ Bronze. Good choice.

 

The Corsair TX650 is also a Seasonic made psu, no idea which model.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Unless you're planning to sli, a decent 500w would be plenty: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx500m
