Will my power supply do?

[Zeebedy]

It's an awesome unit, you should be very happy with it. I've got the G2 750W and I've changed my dad's to a G2 650W. Rock solid units and they come with a good warranty. You can also get the full aftermarket cabling kit for these. Bitfenix do one, as do Cablemod.

sweet, glad i made a better choice now

cheers for the input fella.

In the 650W category, it's one of the best PSUs available in my opinion. That should set you up for several years to come.

 

[Zeebedy]

for the specs i listed above, the 650W will be plenty juice for it? correct?

More than enough. You could OC everything to the limit and still have power left over.

powercool is only good for budget systems thats why you tend to see them £20 or less new, but evga suppose to be good, but not the one you ordered as i looked at that before and was advised against it.

i will obviously be biased here, but i have the seasonic s12II 520w power supply thats dual rail and been perfect, no issues with power or noises and it powers my 270x nicely which takes 2 6 pins, so whether the 760 uses 1 or 2 6 pins this psu would suit you nicely, even for some decent overlcocking.

mine wasnt off here, but the price is around the £60 mark brand new, but a good 450-500 be good enough, dare i say a 400 too? cx430 maybe not, i have that also which is a used item and powers fine, but i only have a 750ti in that rig which doesnt need 6 or 8 pin connectors.

He's now bought a G2 650W, which is one of the best 650W PSUs available. A good 500-550W is all he needs, but like all of us, he got impatient and bought what was in stock!

I agree that powercool PSUs shouldn't be used for anything other than budget office PCs that aren't demanding on the PSU. Some of the off-brand capacitors in these cheap units are pretty bad.

never owned a powercool so likely bias response, but i would put more trust in a vs350 than one of those and a antec vp350 over the vs having owned both(vs had longer before changing).

anyways you did good on your proper purchase ha

 

[Borealis]

Yeah a vs350 is way better and that's saying something. Powercool are in the same league as CiT and nearly as bad as the Jonnyguru gutless wonders.

I'm rocking a G2 750W here myself.
