Cooler Master GX 750W Power Supply http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-202-CM

I am thinking to buy the bundle with CM 690 II case, will be oc i5 2500K with 6950/70 CF, will this PSU be good enough?

I definitely would not recommend it. It has had poor reviews at jonnyguru and hardwaresecrets. They showed that it cannot deal with heat and has out of spec ripple on the 3.3V rail when fully loaded. It might be suitable but it would be entirely your call after reading those reviews. Bear in mind that the review at jonnyguru was the reproduction sample, they actually got a second, full production unit which reviewed even more poorly, unfortunately the site admin decided that the first review was 'harsh enough' and removed the second, worse review.

Stay clear of the GX range of psu's. Very poor quality.

poor psu, full of doom

wow never know it is so badly received, thx guys.
btw, will the antec truepower 650W be enough to power 6950/70 CF?

It's also gone up in price since we all started recommending it. It was £65 last week, it's now over £73 and you can't blame the vat rise for most of that.

to be more accurate, its seasonic that make the best psu's

most corsairs are seasonics (althou not all)

The Corsair TX 750 is a pretty bad buy, considering the presence of the XFX Pro 750W Core Edition, which is more efficient - I will keep saying this until I see a review of the new 750 TX - and cheaper.
