Haswell compatibility list http://techreport.com/review/24897/the-big-haswell-psu-compatibility-list

 

[benkrems]

I couldn't find the PSU in the list

 

[Ahmadjon]

It's a good PSU and compatible with Haswell CPU's.
I also couldn't find on EggXpert so i think it's newer model PSU

What About the Antec High Current Gamer 850W Modular HCG-850M

 

[Ahmadjon]

Yes it's also solid PSU so it's a tier 2 PSU and just for note when you come to chose PSU choose between Sesonic (#1), XFX (made by Seasonic), Antec and Corsair (Except CX line)!
And you'll be fine!

 

[benkrems]

Ok what Seasonic PSU do you recommend?

Would like 850W under $200

Really won't do SLI? Because later if you change your decision, after purchasing PSU it will be too late
If you won't do SLI than quality good 650W would plenty!

Well I wont be doing high end gaming and stuff like that and a Gtx 780 is a very good GPU so I might go with the Seasonic 750 for head space

It's an awesome CPU for gaming and won't bottleneck anything! so the difference between i7 and i5 in gaming = 0~5% and i think it's not worth the money unless you're going to make photo video editing machine!
