thats the mobo il be using

AMD states a PSU of 600w or greater and combined 12v rating of 39 amps or greater.

So a 650w should do the job but do you plan to OC the CPU?

 

[michael83]

yeah i do at some point, probly to 4.4 ish as it seems to be the norm, i know littlle about pcs so i dont want the most important thing to either not be good enough or to blow etc lol

For those prices id buy a XFX Pro 750W Core Edition from elsewhere, as they have been out of stock ages here.

No, the XFX 750W XXX Edition Modular is, but xfx is made by seasonic, the best !

I second this, look no further than anything made by seasonic for a quality supply that you can pretty much guarantee will last you for years
