Corsair TX650 (Non-Modular)

or

Which one is better?

Cant make a decision due to both having great reviews

Any help would be appreciated!

If you plan on adding another 7950 at any stage you could go for a 750W

YOUR BASKET

Total : £108.65 (includes shipping : £7.25).




If you just plan on a sticking with a single 7950 then a 500W or so will do fine.

Good PSU is always worth paying for, and nothing sucks more than realising two years later that you would like to xfire and your psu isn't up to it.
 
Can't believe people are still considering the ModXStream Pro 700W in 2013...
It is not a good 700W PSU, this is because it has a combined +12V rating of 552W and only 2 PCIe connectors. A good 650W+ PSU should have at least four. Which the TX650 doesn't have either.

So if you want to be able to upgrade to a multi-card config in the future then neither is a good choice. Also there are much better options available if you're sticking to a single card.

For a single card rig the Seasonic G-450 / G-550 is hard to beat for build quality and performance.

I would throw the be quiet Power Zone 650 / 750W in there as an option for multi card configs.

I'd even take the NZXT Hale90 650W over the Antec HCG-750M, as it has higher efficiency and much lower fan speed.
