Power unit for SLi

[marlos]

I'm looking into getting another EVGA GTX 260 so think i need a new power unit as the one i've got is almost 3 years old.
I have £150.00 to spend and would like to have a fully Modular design for easy cable routing, Mainboard power must be Modular aswell.
No lights, any make & in black.

Here be my choice:

If you want to spend all your budget get the one this one.

Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 850W


or save money and go for (600w be fine to run a 260 could handle 2)

Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 650W

Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2

You need 6pinx4 connectors aswell, i don't think be quiet/corsair 650w/620w has that? correct me if i'm wrong.

I'd recommend, corsair tx 750w or Zalman 850w or Be quiet 750W.

 

[lynchy6789]

Didn't read that just sure the budget. In that case go for the Be Quiet 750W and your still under budget.

i just has to be sli certified really

+1 for the BeQuiet! 750W or 850W

Both have 4 x 6pin connectors. It's my next upgrade.

im running 3 gtx 260s and i use Coolermasters true power 1000w psu but that might be out of your budget?

I've seen a power unit i like, 1000W iCute Modular ATX Quad VGA Power Supply £100

 

[Johnny-Redneck]

bobs your uncle i believe they say

I think Be quiet has 22 changeable cables out of 24, which is pretty good.

dont need more then 600w, doubt you will for a long time. Id just get the 600w seasonic, i find them to be silent and very well made.
