Suggest me a power supply unit please

[Arun Satyal]

Hi, I'm planning to build a high-end PC and all the components is ready except the PSU. I need help for how much wattage I've to choose. My rest of components details are below:

Core i7 4770K 3.5GHz
Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP
Corsair 32 GB (4x8GB) RAM
EVGA - Nvidia GTX 760 ACX DDR5 2GB
Samsung 256GB SSD

My computer casing has 3 cooling fans and I'm not overclocker. Please help me, what power i've to choose for PSU

 

[lukelaw]

600 watts will power that and have room for overclocking

Budget? Are you going to SLI?

 

[Computersloeber]

A very good 650W psu:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014
It is tier 2 but tier 1 might be too expensive and is 1000+ watt most of the times.
The unit is manufactured by Seasonic=one of thebest PSU brands.

 

[Arun Satyal]

Ya, I might use SLI but not right now. that could be in the future. I'm thinking to choose 650W PSU. Is that okay..??

 

[lukelaw]

Yes, 650 is good but if you plan to sli then you need something bigger later

 

[chimera201]

You still didn't mention budget and country?

 

[Arun Satyal]

Oh sorry I've $80 for PSU and I'm from Nepal

 

[chimera201]

What is available there? Do you have any online sites?

 

[sourodip]

If u choose to do SLI in future, then get something like the corsair TX650/Ax 760W. That would last in the long run.

It's very hard to get high-end branded PC components here. Market is too small to sell gaming or high-end workstation PC here. But seller can provide when customer orders a PC but that's too expensive cause of airport custom and taxes and seller's high profit margin. That's why I told my friend to bring some components from US in his arrival.

XFX PRO650W Core Edition 80+ Bronze
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045L5LGI/?tag=pcpapi-20
http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=59616&vpn=P1650SNLB9&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1069

It's got 2 6-pin and 2 (6+2)-pin PCIe connectors. So you can SLI in future.

 

[sourodip]

okay here it is(You should stretch you budget to buy a good SLI certified PSU):

for the TX650V2-you would have to use the molex adapters if you do SLI in future.

You increased your budget? I searched for PSUs under 80$. Yeah that's good

 

[sourodip]

Yes, the CS650M is a healthy 80+ gold rated psu. But does it have four 6-pin pci-e connectors?( actually i forgot it's specs)

 

[sourodip]

Exactly, u changed your budget while we were looking for a psu under 80$? lol

You can see its specs here

Yes. actually i was making my PC budget around $600 when i was thinking about to build a high-end PC. Now its reaching to $1200+ 😀

 

[sourodip]

I can't. I have a very slow broadband. Can you tell me how many pci-e connectors it has ?

 

[chimera201]

CS650M has 4 (6+2) pin PCIe connectors. Good to go

 

[Arun Satyal]

I can't. I have a very slow broadband. Can you tell me how many pci-e connectors it has ?

There're 1 PCIe connector (4+4) pins. This PSU is just for single GPU. If you planning to use SLI / Dual graphic card, you should choose a PSU more than 650W.

 

[sourodip]

Well i'm not planning to do SLI, u do.
However, the 4+45 pins is the cpu connector.
As chimera201(thnx for giving the specs) has said, it has four 6+2 pins,then what are you waiting for? It would do nice.

Oh,sorry sourodip. Perhaps chimera201 was right. actually there was some confusing specs sheet in the website I was checking for

 

[Arun Satyal]

But I found Corsair 750W PSU $10 less expensive than Corsair 650W in microcenter.com. So i would like to go with 750W. Affordable and more capacity too.
