I need to get a new PSU for my computer. It currently has a
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK)

Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two (V3) Ultimate Gaming Case
HIS HD 6950 IceQ X Turbo 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Asus P8P67 LE Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Any ideas? Max budget £80.

any antec or seasonic psu at 650w will be fine and are generally regarded as the best psu manufacturers.

I'm assuming you need a new one because the old one died? If that's the case then either of the below will do nicely

YOUR BASKET
1 x Antec High Current Gamer 620W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £79.99
1 x XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £71.99
1 x Seasonic S12II 620W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £67.99
Total : £232.57 (includes shipping : £10.50).

The HCP range has a minimum wattage of 750w unless I'm mistaken. Unless you meant the high current gamer I linked?

Unless the one you have has failed there is no need to replace it.

Thanks for the reply's... I'll have a think!

why do you need a new psu?

I can vouch for the 620W HCG. Had mine for over 2 years now and it's been faultless.

I'm assuming your Corsair one has died? I mean my Antec is great but I'm not sure if it's that much better (if at all) than the TX650, although I've never owned one.

Thanks, and yea, my Corsair has finally given up the ghost!
