Which PSU do I need?

Guest · Jun 2, 2013

I've narrowed it down to CX Series CX600M 600 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply and Builder Series CX600 600 Watt ATX 12V Power Supply.

Here's what's in my PC:

Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H 1155 ATX
CPU- Intel i5 3570K
Storage- WD 1TB 7200rpm HDD
SanDisk 64gb SSD
RAM- Crucial 8GB (2x4gb) D3 1600
GPU- EVGA GTX 660SC 2GB
Optical- Asus DVDR/RW Burner
Case Fans- 2 front LED (120mm), 2 top (120mm), 1 rear (120mm), and 1 bottom (120mm)

They're both the same and they are both weak for OC.

ksham :

Then what do you recommend? I was confused with the modular and non modular. I need to stay under $75.

BTW, I do not plan on OC my CPU. I will bump up my GPU a little.

I'd suggest moving up to the TX series from Corsair or Core Edition from XFX.

As a side note, i think 6 months from now you wish you went bigger on the SSD. And I'd also recommend avoiding the SC series from DVGA because of the paltry VRM's.

$2 more for the Asus, $7 for the MSI

JackNaylorPE :

I guess I'll keep what I have now and start saving up for new PSU and GPU. I've been driving an hour to the nearest MicroCenter to get parts so I didn't have to wait for shipping. (I'm a little eager to get this finished!)
