Suggestions needed for a PSU with a Haswell based CPU

[shiftymcfly]

Looking for suggestions on a PSU for my new gaming rig. Preferably modular and Gold rated efficiency. Enough power to run the components and have some wiggle room so I am not pushing the limits on the wattage. Only things not on this list are 2 HDs (non SSD) and 2 optical drives. Hard for me to define a price range (how much should one spend on a PSU?) but I will say 650W to 700W seems like a good starting point. Please and thank you.

Here are a couple good units at those specs:

Honestly, I don't think those top tier efficiency ratings are all that valuable. You spend a wackton more, and in exchange you save maybe a buck or two in energy bills a year...doesn't seem cost effective in the end. Here would be my personal recommendations:

I'd recommend the Corsair AX760i. The AX series are all 80+ Platinum plus it is fully modular. This comes in at $190 and will serve you well. http://www.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-ax760i

EDIT: These are a lot cheaper in the UK at the moment compared to the US so don't go with that. Blackbird found two great deals.

Check out the Corsair HX750, Semi Mod and Gold efficiency. Im using one now. Great psu for the price.

You can use one of these PSU calculators :

http://www.msi.com/service/power-supply-calculator/

I think a 700W quality PSU is enough. But if you are going to use it for a long time and do overclocking, VGA upgrades, adding memories, and etc you should consider about a more powerful PSU.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 780 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 42 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

For a system using two GeForce GTX 780 graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 850 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 65 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin and two 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

If you have any future plans for two GeForce GTX 780 in 2-way SLI mode you should plan for that now.
