Advice on what psu

Callicious · 30 Sep 2012 at 22:55

Hi, im needing to get a new psu but i am unsure on what to get. I dont know what wattage i would need, 700w+? The cheaper the better but obviously I want to buy a trusted brand. In the future there is a possibility I will upgrade my mobo and get another 7850 to cross fire. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

specs:
Corsair c70
Asus m4a87td
Amd phenom ii x4 965
Corsair h100
Shapphire 7850 oc
2x seagate 500gb hdd
samsung 830 128gb ssd

Get the best you can afford as a the better psu you buy, the longer you can re-use it through diffrent builds. Like getting a 1200 psu is over kill but you'll never need to change it, no matter what system you have

How much are you looking to spend?

Callicious · 30 Sep 2012 at 23:06

not really wanting to spend over £80

I found these 750w Psu`s under £80. Which will be enough for to xfire your 7850.
A couple of them are either out of stock or wating delivery, only one is modular.
