Help with PSU

[aron_6]

I'm looking about mining ETH or ZEC.
My specs Will be:
- intel core 2 duo E8400 @ 3GHz
- 4GB DDR3 Memory @ 1333 MHz
- Gigabyte R9 290 windforce
- Zotac R9 280x

What PSU would you recommend. PC Will be on 24/7. Will 700W or 750W be good?

I would go with a 600/650w (personally) Or even a really good 550W. Either Seasonic, or one of the Corsair RMX range. Reliability and longevity is the key here. Aim for a good make, and as high up the tier list as your budget allows.

Are you sure 650 would be enough? Every psu calculator recommends more than 700w

Can you link me to the exact GPUs that you are buying so I can figure out how many PCIe connectors you need?

Okay so the 290 requires a 6-pin and an 8-pin, the 280x needs two 8-pin. What is your country and budget?
