Looking to upgrade my GPU.

2500k (stock speeds for now) Need decent cooler

Gigabyte GTX 460 1gb

Asus P8P67 Pro

Crucial C300 64gb

2x Samsung F3 1TB

Corsair HX 620W

Corsair 600T

Monitor is a BENQ G2220HD.

Thinking another GTX 460 would be the best bet. Just thinking if the PSU will handle it. I'm going to overclock the CPU once I get a heatsink(using stock cooler).

imho a 620 psu would struggle to run dual gpu's specially if overclocking anything. I'd suggest at min a 750 but 850 would deffo fill the order

Thanks for the reply, Will look for another corsair PSU as my current one has lasted me ages and have had no problems with it.

Whats the difference between http://www.ebuyer.com/164951-corsair...-cmpsu-850hxuk and http://www.ebuyer.com/279546-corsair...-cp-9020004-uk apart from the price!

The HX one has a higher effiency rating. I am pretty sure the 12v rail is more on the HX one as well. I have a HX750 and they are solid as you like and i sure the guys here will echo my view.

I would go for the HX850 in a heart beat.

Yup, a good 750 - 850W will be enough if you're planning to OC and have multiple video cards as well. The HX750 or AX750 are a good choice.
