Best 800w PSU for the Money

shadowzeditz · Aug 13, 2013

I need a PSU for my GTX 760 SLI setup and would like 750-800w as I will be overclocking the CPU (i5 4670k) and my graphic cards. My budget is £85, I know it's quite low but I am not looking for a top end platinum PSU, an 80+ bronze would suffice.

The option I am currently considering is this Corsair CX750M PSU: http://www.dabs.com/products/corsair-750-watt-builder-series-cx-750-modular-power-supply-8GFW.html?q=cx%20750&src=16

I would prefer a modular power supply however I understand with my budget you cannot have everything. Also if you think 750w is too low let me know because advice on the PSU requirements have been varied.

Thanks in advance!!

So you think 750w would be enough for overclocking the GPU and CPU? Thanks

Yes it will!!!!!

If you want more headroom at a great price here's 850w , but not modular.

What do you think about this one: http://www.dabs.com/products/fractal-design-800w-tesla-wired-80--gold-psu-8B9N.html?q=800w&src=16

Its 80+ Gold from Fractal Design, they're pretty good aren't they?

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 14, 2013

Fractal PSU's are not that great.

shadowzeditz · Aug 14, 2013

Will an 80+ Bronze PSU be sufficient for overclocking?

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 14, 2013

Buy the XFX and your good to go, Bronze , Silver ,Gold . have nothing to do with performance.
