Hi,

I want to upgrade my PSU so I can overclock my CPU/GPU in time for GTA V. I have a i5 3570k, R9 280x, 3 HDD's, 1 SSD, fans/soundcard and stuff, all powered by a Corsair 500W Bronze Rated PSU. Before my R9 280x (months and months ago) I did have a 7850, which was overclocked with my CPU, ever since getting the 280x I can't overclock nowhere near what I was used to, so with GTA 'round the corner I don't think there is a better time to upgrade my PSU, and I'm getting back into Arma 3 and a OC'd CPU helps a lot! I've been looking at a SuperFlower 650W GOLD Modular, on this weeks deals for £75. Is it worth it/overkill/something better?

Cheers!
Luke :)
 
You could get away with a 550W, but the 650W Leadex is very nice indeed

For crossfire you could look at an 850W if you were ever going to go for that
 
I got the Antec 700w semi modular PSU. Its only a bronze though. Was 70 quid off here. Should've been 90. Not sure if the offer is still on.

Not much better on offer with the same quality internals.

Did you want the option to go Crossfire? if so you need a 850W PSU.
