The litepower isn't going to provide you the extra juice you think it will. It is called litepower for a reason... It is a '700W' PSU with 48A available on the 12V rail giving it only 576 W available for the CPU and GPUs. The VS650, while rated 50 W lower, has 2 A more available on its 12 V rails for 600W of capacity.

Strange how PSU labels are all full of lies and illusions isn't it? This is why I always insist that not all PSUs are created equally.

The VS series hasn't had any good reviews done on it because it is 220-240V only so no north american reviewer can easily test it. I would steer clear of both of those units and try to find something that has actually seen a review.

My CPU is the i5 3570K and my graphics card is the Galaxy GTX 770 GC 2GB. They recommend a 600w PSU for it. My budget for the PSU is under $100 AUD. I'm trying to be a little conservative on things other than the components that are important for gaming/video editing like the PSU It cannot be over $100.
