Need opinions on a new power supply

[berlin88]

The time has come for me to get a new power supply, so I am now looking at newegg and considering my options.


I am currently looking at either Corsair or Antec power supplies, likely in the 650W range.


Any different in performance or quality between the V2 and non V2 versions of the Corsair 650W Enthusiast series?

Any other PSU recomendations?


Here is my current system, including the PSU I will soon be replacing.


No current plans for any major upgrades, as the CPU / Mother board are less than a year old, but I may upgrade the video card at some point.

Definitely go for the 650TX V2, its cheaper, more efficient, and just as good overall. No reason to pick the 650TX which is being phased out, the V2 is a much better pick at current pricing.

Will the 650TX V2 be sufficient for some of the newer video cards? Or would I have to buy a new PSU down the road, once I upgrade to a newer video card?

My current video card still works great after 2 1/2 years, but eventually it will get replaced. I intend to stick with my EVGA 9800GTX+ as long as possible, which means until a game comes out that it can't handle, or it fails on me.

The 650TX V2 has plenty of power for any single GPU, and has enough power for some dual GPU setups.
