Hey chaps looking to replace my TX650 v2 corsair with a modular PSU. Any recommendations? My spec consists of a 2600k i7 @ 4.5, gtx 670, 4 x hard drives, 16gb memory

Budget and required wattage mate, can you ever see yourself going sli?

Thanks for the link. No sli for me and just what ever I need for the spec in the 1st post

I have the XFX PSU linked above, it is much sexier looking than the seasonic IMO.

My PC is less power consuming that yours (3570K no OC atm, 7950, 2 hard drives) but i was told that the PSU would be fine even with SLI in future. I could have gotten away with much lower wattage. So for you the XFX should be plenty too.

I bought a Seasonic and regret it. Emits a constant whine from the coils that makes me think I'm sitting here with tinitus the whole time. Annoyed me so much I went back to my perfectly silent Corsair HX520.

Why not RMA it then :confused:

Coil whine can be prevalent in any PSU it's a case of hit or miss. Doesn't alter the fact Seasonic are the 'best out'
