Spec me a PSU

[DarkXavier]

Hi
Need a new PSU after my OCZ 850w decided to start making funny noises.... I was thinking of a Corsair Professional Series AX850. Not sure if its worth the extra £70 over the OCZ though.

Any recommendations?

Maybe I'm reading the OP's spec wrong, but 850W and up seems very high for a single GPU system... Pretty sure he'd be 450-500W peak load. (My own rig worked out at a surprisingly light 350-370.)

Just throwing it in there for some potential money saving

Always nice to have the option of adding a second GPU down the line though.

Back to topic, I don't think the AX is worth the extra 70, but the HX is a nice mid-point between the 2.

Yeah, I was thinking of going down the SLI route in the future, so I thought a 850w would be a good compromise.

I'm going for another OCZ psu. Another forum member has had the same problems and has had his replaced. New psu is running fine. must have been a bad batch.
