Hey guys,

I am looking to upgrade my ocz500mxsp psu to allow me to use either a single high end gpu like the gtx780 or maybe even add another GTX660 to tide me over untill maxwell next year.

The PSU must support Haswell / Broadwell but also my existing i5 750@ 3.8Ghz (I may even move it up to 4ghz at some point). It must also be a modular unit, and I am wondering if I can get away with keeping the existing cables? I fitted an Alpenföhn Mount Doom recently and several of my power cables are in hard to reach areas!! So much so I think it would kill me to start messing around with them.

So with a budget of £80 - £120ish which psu would you pro's recommend? Should I buy another OCZ if i wish to keep the existing cables or can I use another?


Sorry for so many questions but I want to get this right :D



edit: I was thinking about this one?

Thanks for the recommendations, I think you are right on the cables, looks like I will be wrestling around with them again! :D

I always think the XFX ones look a bit cookey, I know that shouldnt be the deciding factor of course. What is the general opinion on OCZ gear these days?

I like the look of the Silverstone one!
