Stuck on a selection of power supplies

[Rob_the_scot]

I'm currently Looking at power supplies and there is lots on the market from the bigger brands.

I know I will need a between 400 to 500 watts since its an itx system
I5 haswell 3ghz (none k so no oc)
2 x ssd
7870 (Will be getting 760/770 )
closed loop haven't got it yet but lets say h60 for arguments sake with 2 fans for push pull

I have been looking at the following modular psu
Corsair CX500
Corsair CM450 gold rated
Bequite pure power 530 watts
Coolermaster GM 550
Any others I should look at? has to be modular


*I do not Overclock and there will not be any hard drives in my system

can't go wrong with Seasonic PSU

 

[NeverBackDown]

As said above a Seasonic brand PSU is top notch. Could go for the semi modular G550 gold rated one.

Though Corsair do not have a CM series PSU. Did you mean a RM series? If so then i would aim for either the Seasonic G550 or the Corsair RM PSUs out of the ones selected.

corsair RM450. it's modular, silent and doesn't put your rig in danger.
also don't buy a 760, that would be pointless.

I'm looking at reference design cards to go nicely with the elite 120 was just a card I thought about getting.

I shall have a look at the corsiar rm and seasonics

Yea sorry did mean RM ooops lol

Go a Corsair RM you won't be sorry you did

yeah i would go for the RM range probs go for the 550, i know its more power than you need however it would keep the unit running more passively than active cooling with a fan.

the 760 isn't really an upgrade over the 7870, 770 would probably be okay but if i were you i'd wait for maxwell in q3/4
