PSU for MSI 6870

[Reben1988]

Hi. I bought a MSI 2GB 6870 OC yesterday. Now i have a Gigabyte 585w ODIN psu. I want to upgrade my psu and have two that i am looking at.
Antec NeoEco 620 or Corsair CX600

Need help on what psu would be fine.

you should list all of your other components... so that someone can do a power calculation for you.

most mid to high end laptops fall into the 450-550w range so although you dont have much overhead (keep in mind the previous values are for a 100% full system load which isnt going to happen outside of benchmarking) the 585w of your current psu is likely enough as long as it provides the right cables and is in good working order.

if you want a new psu anyways... i'd suggest something from seasonic.

SPECS:
i5 3570k @ 4.2
Asrock z77 extreme 4 mobo
2x4gb corsair xms ddr3 1600mhz
MSI 1GB 6870 OC
2x 500gb hdd's
4 x 120mm fans and 1x 80mm fan
Normal dvd/cd writer, reader

The current psu only has one pci-e connector and i need two. So yeah i think i need a new one.

Cheers
