A Superflower one would do nicely.
I have a Corsair RM and really like it, but some people don't seem to be a fan.

what sort of wattage would i need. Feel that 900w is probs more than i need. Currently running phenom 965 BE, 16gb ram, 1 R9 290, 1 SDD, 2 HDD and will upgrade to the z97 stuff later in the year hopefully.

Using Superflower 1000w here and its a great PSU very quite also. Running one GPU I would go with 700w

Hipower if I remember are/were a competitors variant, like the OCUK PSU's.

No one would recommend for a high end rig.

thefogo · 13 May 2014 at 10:23

600W would be fine.

Had my tri-x for a couple of months and have to say I am so happy I shelled the money for it.

Finally had a play at the weekend with overclocking and got the clocks to 1130/1625 with a +50 power limit and +60 on the core but can't get it higher even if I go to the full 100 on the core and aux power. Any advice? It benches nice and will bench higher than that but I don't count them as it completes Valley at 1200 core but artifacts a lot.

The 650 one, ran a pair of 290's on one of those for quite a while before changing PSU to add a third, decent unit.

bulletv1 · 13 May 2014 at 13:06

Did some psu calculator thing and it said minimum 510 watts but recommended 610 watts so the 650 is now ordered

hopefully gpu will be solid as a rock after.

Wonder if you could lower than voltage a bit further? Bet you could.

thefogo · 13 May 2014 at 18:29

Yep, as I can run 1100 at +0mV

At 33% I can just about hear the fans over my case fans/hard drives.
