cheapest reliable PSU for 2 x GTX570

sswats · 20 Dec 2013 at 00:19

I am upgrading my PC.
I am getting a AMD 8320 with Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard.

I currently have a HD 6970 and got hold of 2 GTX 570s cheaply and since thsi new board has SLI I thought i would make use of them. However i only have a 520W PSU.

What cheap PSU would you recommend for all that?
Yes i know they are old cards, and i am probably better off flogging all 3 and getting something new, but i need a new PSU anyway because the old is going to another build.

You'll need at least 750w

I'd go for either of these:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Seasonic G series 750w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £109.99
1 x Antec High Current Gamer 750W Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (0-761345-06223-7) £107.99
Total : £230.88 (includes shipping : £10.75).

Be Quiet Powerzone 850w is an extra £10. Wouldn't that be the safer option since that's what ExrayTeds article says.
Even though I don't have watercooling, I will be overclocking ( not a huge amount though)

For the sake of £10 then why not
