Needing a new psu and must be modular, just wondering whats my best option, currently running system in sig but may upgrade to 260sli in the near future maybe even with x58 and i7, thats if a psu is available for that kind of price?
 
I guess the best under £100 right now would be the 625w Enermax Modu82+, although with talk of gtx260s in SLI and an x58+i7 setup perhaps the Zalman ZM-750HP would represent a more comfortable choice.
 
Anyone aware of an up to date watt requirements list? There used to be some that were a little out of date but usable, but that's going back to the days when A64 was the business.

I suspect we're all going overkill on it. I can't see a processor going over 200W, but I really don't know if the power usage has gone up since G80.
 
Thanks for the link Acid, I've used something similar in the past (maybe even it was this) but I didn't know there was an up to date one around. Cheers.
 
It's not the greatest for accuracy though. It comes out with a figure of 284w for me but I've never gotten my powermeter to read higher than 240w (which includes a stereo system and my lcd monitor).
 
FYI, I just bought one of them cheap devices that monitors the power of a PC.

My system: i7 920 @ 2.80 (stock), GTX-260, 2 x 1 TB HD, 1 x 300GB veliciraptor, wireless card, mouse.

Total power consumption idle: 150 watts.
Full load = 250 watts

This is monitored from the plug.

ended up going a bit cheaper in the end and got a coolermaster real power M700, seems pretty good and couldnt argue with the price :)
 
Both Seasonic and CWT make Corsair PSUs. The TX750W is made by CWT, as are the Toughpower 750 and 850W modular.
