Suggestions on PSU for Overclocking

[Tony Donev]

I am going to overclock Sapphire r9 290 triple-x and i5-4690k going to go with xfx 550w pus should l get more W one or is this fine also should i stick with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for CPU cooling or should i get something better mid tier

 

[woltej1]

you'll be fine for now, recommend upgrading when you can as the 290 can be power hungry and a highly OC i5 can draw quite a bit more than stock.

So i should stick with it and decide later if its worth upgrading

I would be using a good reliable 650w , if you want to overclock.

PSU is fine for now, upgrade when you can.

That cooler is OK for a mild OC without a voltage increase, but it is a $30 cooler and if you want to push your CPU you need more cooling, like a noctua or liquid.

Any suggestions on a 650w supply and a good mid tier noctua cooler not looking for something expensive

Here is my current build

Isn't it better a non modular PSU and if you could explain the disadvantages in modular and non modular in terms of power also how is this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pg0650gr for a PSU its pretty cheap where i am from

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Semi-modular is better helps with cable management < You only use the cables you need , no extras to hide in the case.

EVGA doesn't have any good 650's in their lineup.
