PSU for 4870

[phaded]

I'le have a system with Antec 900 case, 4gb RAM, 2 HDD's, Sound Card, E8500 CPU, DVD-RW and Blu-Ray Drive, Zalman 9700 CPU Cooler. Obviously backing this up with a 1gb 4870 card but i'm not sure which PSU to get, i'd like one with a single +12v rail and so i've been looking at;

Corsair TX 650w or 750w. Obviously i'd like to spend as little as possible with a minimum of around 600w but I also know that you can't skimp on a PSU so i'd like some opinions please .

My 4870 ran flawlessly on my antec 550w neo power.

TX650 will be fine for 4870 in CF, although im not sure it will have all the connectors needed for CF

corsair would be fine. I went bigger and a little more expensive just because chances are i will upgrade GPU's etc quite often and i dont want to be doing that with PSU's. My 4870's came with a single molex to 6 pin Pci connector incase you dont have all the cables.

I was going to get the 750, i'm looking to keep this spec for atleast 2 to 3 years most likely. I'le probably get the 650 then if it will run my computer fine as it's cheaper.

if your not upgrading within that time get the 650, if you are i would get the 750, you can always use it for your next build too if you wish

i have a corsair 520w modular, runs everything perfectly and its all overclocked. the cable management due to it being modular is really helpful too.

4870 running fine here on an Enermax liberty 500w

The TX 650 will handle it all fine.
