Hi all :)

Firstly is the HX corsair model better than the GS or CX?

I have a i5 overclock CPU (4.6ghz) with viper ram 1866mhz and a 126gb ssd

My mobo is p8z77- v lx

Will a 520w corsair HX be good enough?

Or should I go for a GS or CX model?

Thanks :)

The HX models are better than the GS and CX. The HX models are Seasonic, and the CX and GS are CWT. The CX in particular have some inferior Samxon capacitors in them, known to fail early under stress (particularly from heat).
What graphics card are you getting? The HX520 should be enough for a GTX660Ti or HD7970 at least, possibly a GTX670.

Onus I have the 8800gts as I don't need a great gpu as no games are being played on this machine.

Would the HX 520w cope or fall under stress?
