Advice for Thermaltake Thoughpower 750W 80+GOLD

[DV2]

Well, let me explain the situation

I have an old Antec 900 case, but with the new GPUs coming out that are pretty big and stuff, it's ending up being small for my needs.

My actual Specs are:

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68V-PRO GEN3
CPU: Intel I5 2500K 3,3Ghz (NO OC)
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333mhz
GPU: GIGABYTE (nVidia) 660GTX Ti OC 2GB
OS: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
HDDs: 1 SAMSUNG EVO 840 250GB SSD + 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM
ODD: 1 DVD+RW DL Writer (ATAPI or OEM,whatever)

On April 21st, Thermaltake will release in Spain the Core V71 Full Tower (This one http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002231 )

A bit wider and more taller than my Antec 900, but also having bigger BLUE LED fans (important XD) and most importantly, USB 3.0, along with Cable Management holes and removable bays (I'd remove them ALL and place 2 HDDs vertically at the right side of the tower's special place,as seen in the images from that link)

The thing is, i actually own a very old Thermaltake Toughpower 700W Modular (bronze i guess) with Fishnet'd cables,wich makes it impossible to have a decent management in the tower (to make things clear, the Antec 900's window shows like..more cables than the Motherboard) and i had to move the placement of the HDDs higher so the SATA cables would reach the DVD Drive (big problem/mistake is..i lost the PSU's box of cables X_X; )

I was seeing that Thermaltake made out a new PSU called kinda the same... "Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Modular 80+GOLD Haswell Ready" aka http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002295 ,wich has better, flat/thin and LONGER cables than my actual ones (better for the new case) , along with +6A on the V12 Rail than my PSU (56A vs this new one's 62A).

I had no problems with my PSU, but again, it's old and the cables would stiffen or tight/bad reaching , bad move for the new upcoming case.

I've been suggested another brand, these "Corsair (Seasonic) AX860W" but after reading user reviews on Newegg (sadly,can't buy from Newegg) it made me draw/step back from them due to their "High coiling/Noise" or even Dead On Arrival or "Dead after 7 days of use" ( here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139044 )

There's also these "Thermaltake SMART 850W" but they have Bronze 80+Plus ..

I am a bit lost and i'd like to get a PSU in a similar same time as the Core V71 Case of the ordering...Could anyone help me here out,please?.. The reason i want a either 750 or 850W PSU is for Future GPU upgrades that might ask for loads and LOADS of Wattage power or other upgrades like CPU or MB..aka Future proof,even if 700W is good enough, i've seen a GIGABYTE 780/790GTX asking for 600W

Thanks in advance.

The case is nice , but stay away from Thermaltake power supplies.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Look for an XFX , SEASONIC , Antec power supply.

What's wrong with them?...And what PSU would ya recommend?..Did ya read the AX860 one i've mentioned?..

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Corsair AX and HX are great power supplies.

Well, but i've seen on Newegg that some people got DOAs, failure'd PSUs from this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139044

Dunno what to trust , unless it's because they OC like crazy,wich i don't OC at all

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's still a great power supply with a great warranty.

I only buy Seasonic and XFX power supplies which are made by SEASONIC.

Thanks, i'l see if i can get the AX860 PLUS PLATINUM one in the next weeks before the CV71 comes out..

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

That's a great supply and a great case , post pics when finished.

Hopefully the PSU doesn't dies on me on first power up and stuff..or i'll .. XD..¬¬...

Blackbird, atleast give me a reason or two about why i shouldn't buy that Thermaltake Toughpower 750W GOLD. I actually own a TT TP 700W yet Bronze ,not haswell ready and with fishnet'd cables.

It's an ok power supply , but I always like my components being powered by the best.

Ah, so that's an "Alternative PSU as last resort" in the end..Well, that's good to know i guess.. Better than ending up with a random high coil noise PSU that hasn't been fixed for 2 years.
