Upgrade from my old CX750?

My full spec is in my sig.

I would like some advice fromy you lads about my old CX750 PSU. Ive had it a few years now and have had no issues at all, however do I get rid?

I used to have a 280x which drew more power than my current 1070 GTX, however my new card is over £400. I don't fancy my old PSU unit causing any damage in the near future. I see the CX750 didn't get much good reviews?

I was thinking on a RM750X?

Any advice much appreciated!

worth the slight extra IMHO

You could get away with a 650w and still have headroom tbh.

You probably wouldn't have any issues with the CX 750W for a single gpu setup, but if you do want to change it then a good 550W such as the SuperFlower Leadex is all you would need.

The White Platinum one is the best buy out of the three as it is slightly more efficient for the same price.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Super Flower Leadex Platinum 550W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - White= £79.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex GOLD 550W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply - Black= £79.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex GOLD 550W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply - Gunmetal= £81.95

Cheers for the replies guys.

What is THE brand to go for? Superflower?

Only reason I was looking at a Corsair is I have a Corsair case, fans, etc

Super flower and EVGA are pretty much seen as the best. Interestingly, superflower make a lot of the EVGA PSU (which EVGA then just put their names on etc). Would always look into who actually makes the PSU, not just which brand is on the box. I learnt this mistake by getting a corsair Cx 750m.

If you want another Corsair unit then go for the RMx or RMi as they are very good units. The RMi only starts from 650W though.

Cheers for the help and replies guys!

Ive gone Corsair again and well overboard for serious headroom or future upgrades. For the sake of a few extra quid I went for this....

Also while I was there I treated myself to 16GB of RAM
