Best Power Supply?

Minty649 · 18 Oct 2014 at 16:06

Hey guys, so unfortunately i have to send my PSU(XFX pro series 750w) back as every so often it wont turn on and of coarse they don't have any left in stock so they can't give me another one. I want at least a 750w, but an 850 would be nice cause i wanna future proof. I have a budget of around £80. Any opinions?

Specs

mobo: Asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0
GPU: R9 280x
CPU: FX 8350
PSU: XFX pro series 750w
HDD: WD 1TB
RAM: crucial tactical tracer 2x4gb, 1600

Thanks

Just look at the 850w versions of the ones posted above. You don't need that much though. Even 750w would allow you to add another 280x and still have power to spare.

Easily, with power to spare. See this review where total system power is only 562w from a system including a pair of MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB Twin Frozr OC in CrossFire and a i7 3960X clocked at 4.7Ghz.
