spec me a new PSU

Sig in bottom but later on I'll be getting another 280x or even going a single 3** series with a view to XFIRE-ing the 3** series down the line too. I've got a corsair 650 PSU but was thinking would I be better off getting something like a 850W to future proof me?

What brand should I go for, ideally best bang for buck. I find corsair stuff good but getting pricey so my corsair loyalty is waning lol.

10 years warranty. Superflower made. 850w. Should be suitable as your request!

+1 vote for the EVGA PSU I fitted the 750w version in my wife's PC and it is a great PSU.

Will be fitting the 850w version in my new case at the end of the month.

This might sound stupid but if I go the above watercooling route, it'll handle that as well as the component parts yes? I know it will but I just need someone to confirm to ease my ocd lol

Ended up buying the 750W version. Cheers for the advice fellas.

Good buy, solid bit of kit.

I have the 1200w version. Solid bit of kit.

Love the fact the fan does not turn on even under heavy load (main reason I went overkill with the power rating). Will serve me for many years to come.

Can't get any quieter as its silent!

I have the 750W too, and I must say I'm very impressed.
With a 4690k overclocked and a 7970 overclocked, the fan is not spinning in far cry 4 ! I was getting worried that it might be broken, however I put my hand on it and it was extremely cool to the touch.

The only thing I don't like is that the modular cables are not ribbon-style, which can make closing the rear side panel a bit harder.

Thanks for all the replies, do I need to register the PSU for the 10 year warranty? If so, where and how?
