Power Supply type needed for a build

Mj_44_iraq · Oct 25, 2013

Hi there,

I'm buying a gaming PC with the following specifications:

ASUS p8z77 LE-Plus
Core i5 3570k
ASUS GTX 760 OC with DCU II cooler - two way SLI
2*4 GB Corsair Vengeance
Cooler Master k380
1TB WD 7200 rpm

What kind and capacity of power supply unit I need? and what brand you recommend?

you would probably be looking for a 700W or larger PSU from a quality manufacturer such as Seasoni, XFX, Corsair, Antec, etc.

750W can run two GTX760 cards. I seriously don't understand the point of suggesting LITERALLY twice the PSU he needs. I'm running the 7950 which uses more electricity then the GTX760 on a 450W PSU. (Rosewill Capstone 450, so its a gold rated 450W.) A bronze 500W will run that system just fine. The better 450W units will do it. 750? ONLY if you are planning on an SLI setup.

Edit: Nevermind. I see he said SLI. I'll go sit in my corner and stew for awhile. I agree on the 750W.
