Good power supply for a Bitfenix Phenom?

[almighty15]

Ordering the case and PSU at some point tonight not sure on what PSU to get?

Been looking at the SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W

That seems the best available for the money and I've heard good things about SuperFlower power supplies, especially from 8Pack who seems to think quite highly of them.

Obviously with the Phenom being Mini ITX I'll only ever run dual GPU card like the 7990 at maximum which a 650w should future proof me for any future dual GPU monsters?

Is there a better PSU that's around the same price?

Great choice, and good size for the Phenom.

Well the buggest dual gpu monster is the 295x2, and a 1000w psu is recommended for that.

Unless you would like to pay £10 more to go for fully modular which would help with your mitx build then I think that's the best choice you have there.

Or you could pay £10 for 100W more below

7950 Crossfire system only pulls 450w under load when running 3DMark and there's no way a 295x2 pulls more then double that.

a lower rated psu would run it yeah, the reccomended wattage is always a bit ott.

I wouldn't use anything less than a 850w quality unit.

AMD are very specific about the amount of AMPS per rail/connector to feed a R9 295, more so than usual, this effects multi rail PSU's more than single rail PSU's.
