R3 does have some PSU size limitations.
TX750 fits but you need to feed cables through before mounting.

In mine the loudest fan is the TX650 (had TX750 in for awhile too) below 50% CPU... and I'm not the only one complaining about it.
An ultra-quiet, 140mm double ball-bearing fan delivers excellent airflow with exceptionally low noise levels by varying fan speed in response to temperature

is a lie. :mad:

Problem is i bought it and can't afford to replace with quieter now. :mad:

Sorry for the rant. Don't know what to suggest as too frustrated to even look.
 
no , no cross fire or sli , what would be ample for the system plus i need to get a graphix card later on

A solid ~400W unit will be more than enough if you're running just one card.

The XFX Core 450W is probably the better choice, but you can make a good case for the BeQuiet (it does live up to the name).

Edit: actually scratch that - the XFX gets loud at high loads, you'll want the BeQuiet 430W.
