Spec me a psu please

[OptimaLnrg]

Hi

PC has a Phenom X3 720 @ 3.3 on 1.6~ volts and a HD4870. It was an OcUK pre-build a few years back and had a 600W OCZ psu.

I need a new psu for the system, was thinking 600W is probably quite excessive?

I was thinking a corsair cx 500 or 600? Or maybe one of the XFX psus.

Modular or semi-modular would be great but only within reason, I'm not spending the premium for the AX 650W for example.

Cheers

Is the old psu dead or is it because you think 600w is excessive? It won't use 600 unless it needs to.
