570 SLi Powersupply

[Virt]

Hi guys.

I'm wondering what power supply you would recommend for two GTX570s in SLI?

I was thinking this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-052-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098 would be alright.

I'd like it to be modular. It's going to go into an Antec 1200 case.

It'll be fine.

Or a cheaper alternative:

OCZ Z-Series 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply

Are there any other power supplies from different manufacturers that are worth a look?

 

[RJC]

XFX, Antec and Corsair are worth a look but the value for the OCZ is good.

I just read two reviews saying that the ZX series power supplies don't have "MOV in the transient filtering stage", which protects the power supply from power surges through the grid.

Surely that's a very important feature?

 

[Surveyor]

Too technical for me.

But the PSU I linked to appears to have it.

More transient filter out front. A MOV, two coils, two X capacitors, and two more Y's.
