PSU Advice

nutter91 · 18 Jan 2013 at 02:48

Hey guys, I recently took advice from this forum and built a PC and was recommended the Corsair GS700, now the fan is making some weird noise when it slows down and i've researched it to find this is a very common problem.

I'm in the process of returning it but was wondering if there is a PSU for around the same price (£75ish) that has a better reputation?

Thanks!

Seasonic internally and pretty quiet.

It's for future proofing, i've only got one graphics card at the minute but in the future i'm looking to add a second.

Spec is:

That XFX will be perfect then..

That would even run 7950 Xfire.. Hint hint.

Haha, thanks! Well this is only just built so I'll let it run a while before considering an upgrade to 7950
