PSU

What PSU would be good for a 6950 Radeon that can be unlocked to 6970, motherboard is 1155 socket running and i7-2600K not clocked, 1 sata hard disk, cheap and reliable if possible.....

Thanks

Are you thinking xfire at anytime, if so maybe 600-650W may be better.

If you are... I have a 700w OCZ and 2x6950's and it isnt really enough for xfire. Im lookiong at replacing with a 750 on payday!

For xfire/sli I would want the minimum of a quality 750w psu. To be honest, I'd go for an 850w to be safe.

If you want cheap, the OCZ 550W is a good choice, as mentioned by Idleman.

If you want modular too, this CoolerMaster 600W is good

I ran my twin 6950 and now my 6990 on a corsair hx750 with no problem so a 750 would be easily enough and a 850+ overkill. it also drives 10 fans, 4 hard drives and my water cooling rig so unless your 700 watter is a cheapo/very old one I dont see why you have any problems.

I said a 750 would be fine. Personal preference I'd go for an 850 for some headroom.

Hi guys, cheers for the suggestions, my brother ended up giving me his XFX 850 modular as he's went mad with upgrading his own pc.
