Good PSU?

[R3d_Menace]

My requirements are 700-750W and 4 PCIe 6 pin slots (planning to run a single 5850, crossfire it later). Anyone have any tips? I'd prefer to get one under 80 quid, but I'd prefer if I didn't blow my rig to smithereens, so if the price doesn't work out it doesn't.

I've had my eye on the Antec EarthWatts 750W, two questions on that one:

1. Is it any good? Reviewers have noted a fairly high amount of voltage ripple on the 12V rail - what does this mean in practice?

2. Will it fit in my case? I'm buying an NZXT Hades, and the previous review notes that this PSU is longer than usual. Will this pose a problem?

Cheers guys.

You should wait a little longer before bumping - dons don't like it

I really like the Corsair series.

650W

750W

They are very reliable

Can you afford a antec truepower new 650?

Excellent psu, modular, small box(very compact) loads of cables which are nice and long, it has two 6+2pci and a further two 6pin pci connectors.

+1 on the corsair 750w or the HX750 if you want to go modular

The antec measures at 150x150x86mm.

Antec & Corsair are both decent, I've owned Two Antecs which were Faultless.

Antec TruePower New TP-650...

Antec TruePower New TP-650...

Would that carry 2 5850s, a case with five fans, possibly up to two HDDs and an SSD, and an overclocked core i5?

Corsair 750HX My vote a quality PSU!
