Which PSU

[dianish]

Hello

Im currently using a 650 watt PSU for this rig:

Case: NZXT Lexa S
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-v Pro
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3 ghz OC'd 4.3 ghz
Graphics: Ati Radeon HD 6950 2GB DDR5 OC'd 900/1400
Memory: Kingston HyperX Genesis 16 GB, 1600 mhz, Grey series.
Sound: Soundblaster Titanium HD
HDD: Western Digital caviar black 2x2TB.

But i wish to upgrade the CPU cooler to:

Thermaltake Frio Advanced

And the case to:

NZXT Phantom Special Edition(Black and Orange) Full tower, which includes fans as well.

Do i need to upgrade my PSU to run this - And if so, how big?

Im kind a a novice when it comes to figuring this out. Wish to save the money for now if possible, but do i need to upgrade the PSU i will go for the Corsair Enthusiast TX750 V2 or the TX850 V2 - For future upgrades.

Cheers

Skip the other upgrades and get the power supply upgrade now if you want to continue overclocking, unless you already have a good branded one. What is your current power supply make and model? Here's the minimum I would recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018&cm_sp=Cat_Power_Supplies-_-Spotlight-_-17-341-018. Test it first before sending in the rebate with barcode. It takes about 12 weeks to receive it, but I've gotten all my newegg and frys rebates.

no you don't need to pgrade if your psu is working well(i hope it's a good brand )
BTW,Frio Advanced is huge as hell and i won't suggest that cooler.better go with cooler master hyper 612 pwm-

will run quieter(PWM fan).
good luck with your upgrades!
