Yup, good choice.

Also consider these:

YOUR BASKET

1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £65.99
Total : £165.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).

 

[Tokin]

Will a 650w definetly be enough?

Yes, it will be fine assuming you pick a quality unit. It's more to do with the delivery over the 12v rails than overall wattage anyway.

As long as its for a single GPU, also as long as you're not planning on going crazy with 100s of hards disks and what not

that psu is terrible value for money

 

[Tokin]

I think to be on the safe side im going to go with a 750w,iv'e been considering watercooling for a long time so may aswell future proof a little i guess.

A little more information wouldnt go a miss.

120 pounds for a 650w psu is ridiculous. For half the price you can get the superflower hx650. There's also the corsair RM series and probably several other better value choices.

There's something called quality, maybe you've heard/read of it?

One thing i would never skimp on would be the psu.Thanks for all the info lads

I also think it's a bit expensive tbh There are some other 80 Plus Gold 650W PSU's for cheaper.

There's also something called overpriced. With the seasonic x650 you're paying a premium for a nice velvet bag to keep your cables in.

The seasonic g650 is just as good and 20 pounds cheaper (more if you shop around)

Where did I say the g650 was bad? The x series is fully modular while the g series isn't, did you even think for a split second before posting that comparison?

The superflower you mentioned earlier maybe around half the price(currently due to the weekly offer) but thats not even slightly modular.

With your point regarding shopping around, you can find anything cheaper even the x650.

xfx 750w xxx edition. Reasonably priced, seasonic built, 80+ silver. But god help you if you need to send it back

Yes I did think for a split second. Do you think being modular is enough to warrant double the price? You need to use all the non modular cables on the g650 so its irrelevant or do you think people don't use the motherboard power cables?

Anyway, 120 pounds is still ridiculous money for a 650w psu. It's also not a very good choice for a 780 ti build. It's use is limited as you'd need to go with at least 750w to power 2 of them. With a single 780ti a high quality 550w would have been enough.
