Recommend new PSU

[Beerbaron]

I currently have a Corsair HX620W power supply and need to upgrade it as buying a 290. Manufacturer recommends 750 watt plus my current PSU doesnt have the 8 pin power adaptor only two 6 pin.

What would you recommend?

Thanks.

650W will be fine, they draw around 300W's.

How much do you want to spend?

These have caught my eye recently:
YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA SuperNova G2 1000W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £139.99
Total : £149.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).



10 Year warranty and a pretty good price for the wattage.

Do all new powersupplies have the 8 pin adaptors now? Current PSU was bought from OcUK in Feb, 2007.

I was looking at this to future proof more:

Enough power to add a second 290.

Ive not heard of SuperFlower, anygood?

Looks like maybe they are 2x 4 pin not 1x 8 pin from the pics of PSU.

Superflower are on par with Seasonic. The 2 x 4 pin in the spec is the cpu connector. The pci-e connectors are 6+2.

I have found the 2 pin hidden in the case I still need a more powerful psu.




Thanks.

Go for the Superflower Just make sure it will fit in your case though as they are quite long units (200mm long)

Thanks for the help. I ordered the Corsair as wont be able to measure the case today.
