No, it is not on the list. Here is from Thermaltake. http://www.thermaltake.com/content.aspx?id=3751 When you use the high end GPU don't buy the cheaper PSU because it will cause the problem later. Buy the tier two at least or up PSU. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Don't know about the SMART SE 730w, but the SMART M 750w & 850w units definitely are:

It's cheap for a reason it's a poor quality power supply.

I was looking for CORSAIR GS700 (not the 2013 Edition) do you think it will fit ?

 

[cin19]

Yes, it is much better, also it is haswell compatible.

What is the tire of Thermaltake SMART SE 730W?

Smart SE 730w IS Haswell ready. Granted, it is not the best PSU, but it is 80+ Bronze, modular and cheap.
I think it can hold its own.

Are you sure? Because i can't see it on this list.

My friend has that psu, it has a Haswell ready sticker on the box. So if you are willing to trust them ;]
But it doesn't really matter though. That's not some totally, completely new form of chips so that they need special power supplies.

Once again - it really isn't the best choice. BUT, if you are on the budget or you you don't have too many choices beside it, I'd say go for it.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about this psu http://www.ebuyer.com/631115-thermaltake-smart-se-730w-semi-modular-80-bronze-power-supply-sps-730mpcbeu

When you do the shopping, I recommend to find the pro. review on the item you are interested. If you can't find one just don't buy it, because just like buy your clothes, if you don't try it on you don't it will fit you or not. Review just like someone try it for you.

OK. What is better choice? I need at least 730 - 750 W capacity.
