PSU for Home-Server

[BenDroid]

Hello Guys

1. of all: My english isn't great, i'm just swiss.

So i have that Home-Server right now, which needs to be replaced, because the Hardware in there is definitely not for 24/7-Use.
I have a new Custom-Build-Server planned, that means i already have most of the Hardware.
That would be: Asus Sabertooth Z77, Intel Xeon 1230v2, Fractal Design Define R4 (Black), LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i, 8x WD RE4 4TB, Intel X520-DA2 (10GBit NIC) Noctua NH-D14 and all Noctua NF-F12 Fans

Noticed anything? Yeah, there's a PSU missing.

Server is gonna be AD-/Domain-Server, DNS-/DHCP-Server and the Data-Server.

In my personal Rig i use a Corsair AX860i, which is Platinum, 5 Year Warranty and everything...... That's quite high quality.

What do you Guys think, i should use as my Server-PSU? A Corsair AX760i or something (im looking at those new gold-PSUs from Corsair, since they seem to be good quality)? Maybe a redundant ATX-PSU? (alltough i dont know if they are really compatible with the Define R4.......)
I do not want to skimp on my PSU!

Thanks for your Anwers!

Fractal Design Newton R3 600W. Im using one in a 4770k rig which is just an overclockable 1230v3. I also used one in a 1230v3 rig and it is more than enough. Redundant PSUs are pointless for a homeserver. If you are set on corsair a corsair RM650 or RM750 would suffice. You cant really go wrong with corsair. A AX760i would be a bit overkill for the system but as i said you cant go wrong with corsair.

I agree with the Corsair RM650 or RM750. There solid units and can run stupidly quiet too.

Wow, Thanks for the quick response Guys
I think im going to go with the RM750, because 8 HDs nStuff... (and it only costs 10$ more than a RM650 for me)

Thanks again Guys, keep it up
