So I've been looking into getting a new PSU. My TX 650 has served me well for two and a half years, but I can definitely do better.
My reasons being: so I can clean up the clutter of wires this non-modular unit leaves at the bottom of my case, so that I don't start getting too close to base PSU requirements for GPUs (I plan to upgrade my GPU next year and some GTX 780s w/aftermarket coolers already require 600w), and because I think some time between the end of this summer and the end of next summer I am going to switch to real water cooling (with something like this kit).
With that in mind, I was thinking a small bump up in wattage would serve me fine, so I was thinking either this Corsair HX 750 or the HX 850.
I've heard that water cooling requires over 1000w PSUs. Is this true? I feel like it wouldn't be. But I plan to add a GPU block to the kit I've linked to prior.
Thanks for your help.
