Antec TruePower 650W or 750W?

thunderflash · 19 Feb 2011 at 21:58

Which PSU would suit me best for this spec please? only £20 a difference but still. Here is what I would be ordering:

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
Asus P8P67 PRO
Corsair A70 High-Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Plus maybe 3 HDD and 2 External HDD and usual accessories.

Thanks

Get the bigger one.

650w will be fine I would have thought. Pretty sure ive seen them for 69.99 somewhere, so the difference is more like £40

For the extra go with the larger PSU.

ok thanks will go for the 750w then, any other brand I should check out at a similar price point of £110. Had problems with 2 corsair psu's failing and sending them away to the Netherlands for RMA was not cheap either, so avoiding them now.

XFX range.

namely - XFX 750W Black Edition Modular Power Supply

Both Antec and XFX use Seasonic PSU's. Either should be fine.

OK thanks will stick with the Antec then, makes ordering easier getting it all from same store anyway.

I would go for 750 just in case plus it gives you more options in the future

I had a lot of issues with Antec PSU's in the past but this was 3-4 years ago. If they are indeed using Seasonic units now, there shouldn't be any issues.
