PSU Dead

Psu just gave up the ghost. Time to get a new one, but I not sure how many watts to get.

I'm running a p8p67 with a
i5 Sandybridge at 4.6
4 hard drives and
ATI 6950

Would a 850w be overkill? Can anyone recommend a decent psu at a good price

6900?

50, 70 or 90, big difference between the 50/70 and the 90.

If it's a HD 6950/70 the lowest I'd go for would be.

If you want to consider crossfire in the future or you have a HD6990 a good 750 W is the minimum I'd use.

6950 typo

what's a decent brand?

From OC - Antec, Cosair, BeQuiet & XFX are the brands I'd recommend.

Any Seasonic which are rebranded buy some of the above.

Remembering they do have a range from budget to very high end, you tend to get what you pay for.

What's your budget?

Up to about hundred quid

Ok here's a range.

XFX Pro range, all Seasonic consider 750/850 if you think you may want to use crossfire/sli in the furture.

If you just stick with one card the XFX 650 and the TX 650W V2 are good options.
