Ideal PSU for new GTX560

CinderzFTW · 13 Jun 2012 at 19:59

I am looking for a new PSU to run my new GTX560 on.

I have a Ezcool Infinity 700W at the moment, but afraid to overclock the gpu or cpu (cpu back to stock) in fear of blowing my system.

Thanks

You won't need more than a decent 500w for that. I think the corsairs system builder 500w is perfect for about £50.

SATA connectors are a bit weird on CM 700W, so dont afraid to use a bit of force when pushing it into HDD or dvd rom if you decide to buy it.

unless you want to go sli in the future, a quality 500w should be enough.

You absolutely do not need a 700w PSU for any single card solution out at the moment, never mind a GTX 560.

+1 to this. Otherwise the CM if you want a modular PSU.

The CM silent pro M 700W is the same price as the 600W version. Who in their right mind would buy the 600W for the same price?

I have used the 600W unit a few times. I'm happy to recommend it, it's modular, I wasn't overly sold on the flat cables but none the less the PSU was very quiet. If you can get the 700W for the same price even better!

That OCZ unit is fully modular but only a 550W. It's reviews state it gets a lil noisey under load. As it's priced so close to the CM 700W again the Coolermaster PSU makes more sense.

16 quid difference, states that CM is much better value for money in my mind... Since it is Modular, very quiet and 700W is future proof if he decides to put in something like 670.

Another vote for this. The Silent M's are really good and do as their name suggests

I've had that 700w Coolermaster power supply for about 2/3 years now and still running rock solid!

thanks for all the replies.

will look into the cooler master modular psu then.
