Hi folks,

My PSU has died so i'm looking to replace.

Would like a 750W. Thinking a Corsair 750M or an EVGA 750GQ. Any suggestions? Around the £80 mark.

Also i assume these PSU's will come with an adaptor to connect the 8-pin power supply to the GTX1070? Is this correct? My old one (Antec TP750) was just 2 x 6pin for my old GTX670s. It did have an 8pin modular cable with it.

Thanks.

You can't really go wrong with an EVGA, they're very solid and excellent warranty. I'd go with them over Corsair. All modular PSU's will come with the necessary connectors, including an 8-pin PCI-E for your 1070. You can always use extensions if you want something nicer looking though. 750W should be ample if your system is fairly standard, which I'm guessing it is.
 
I know my R9 290x is power hungry but it's just induced coil whine from my corsair 750w after a heavy overclcking session on both CPU and gpu, so if you like clocking I'd allow just a bit more than you think you will need.
 
Thanks guys, i went with an EVGA 750W to cover myself in the event of SLI in the future....even then it's more than enough by the looks of it!

How is the EVGA 750w with the 1070? Do you get any coil whine under load or when benching?
 
These 1070's are so efficient. I haven't managed to even hit 280w at the wall while benching at 2152/9914mhz. My system with my old GTX780 would easily pull 450w at the wall when benching and that card wasn't even overclocked other than the factory overclock. You could easily run a 1070 off a good 400-450w psu.
