Which Power Supply ?

At the moment I am using a 650w modular around 4 years old.
It creates a lot of heat under load so I presume its not very efficient.
I plan to upgrade from a 7950 to 2 x 290's in the near future so was thinking about an 850w. Cant make my mind up from these tho.

I'm leaning towards the Corsair but would appreciate any opinions.

I would strongly recommend getting either on of these:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Seasonic X-Series 1050w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £169.99
1 x SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1000W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - Black (NESF-010) £169.99
Total : £349.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).

That would be 3 votes for the Superflower then

Suppose by the end of Feb I could save a little more and get to 100 posts.

How many are you expecting to get and how many have been preordered so far ?

You would need to ask in the CS section

Thanks for the link, that's the one then.

Another vote for the Leadex Platinum 1000W here.

850W will be sufficient for CF 290, but the 1000W Superflower Platinum is just SO good. It would be criminal not to buy it at the pre-order price, because you can bet that once they've arrived the prices will go up!
