Hi everyone,

I recently decided to go with the sapphire toxic instead of the vapor x and i saw that the toxic requires 750 watt psu!! I 've heard that companies set such a high standard so as to be sure that even the cheapest psus will do for their card...

So, i had chosen this psu:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014 for the vapor x. Will it be ok with the toxic or should i get this one??:http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Series-80PLUS-Performance-compatible/dp/B005A2RJOI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1382891373&sr=8-3&keywords=ocz++zs750w

Thanks in advance

Newegg has the zt version (fully modular) of the 750 watt OCZ one you posted for $69 after mir right now. I'd get that. 650 watts should be fine, but a good power supply should last you through a few builds and upgrades. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341052
