PSU Upgrade, which to buy?

dcman3000 · Oct 31, 2013

Ok, I know this is already here but I can't find it amongst the gazillion of other questions...heh...so here is my concern.

I have an HP Pavilion HPE 1203 I am upgrading. The PSU I currently have in it is stock. I need to get a PSU above 460, preferably 550-600w.

My question is what's the highest power supply that will fit a mid-sized ATX? My PSU is 5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches according to the site.

Thanks!

This should fit: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383237318&sr=8-1&keywords=600w+psu

Most standard size PSU's will fit. What price range and currency (U.S., Euros, pounds) so I can suggest one from a seller you can get it from.
Also, what is the PC going going to be used for or your plans for further upgrades: This will affect the suggestions.

I use it for music production, video editing and media. I watch movies on it, have a Blue-Ray dvd-rom, all the bells and whistles.

I upgraded my GPU to a GeForce GTX650Ti which is the main reason I want to upgrade the PSU.

Specs below:
Intel 2nd Gen Core i7 2 i7-2600 / 3.4 GHz
Quad-Core, 64-bit
Intel H67 Express chipset
16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM

its semi-modular so very easy to install and it fits in your case.

Hey Andy! thanks for the link, but it doesn't come up. Keeps saying network error. Can you just give me the name of the PSU? I'll find it myself. Thanks!
