Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade to the following specs (primary purpose: gaming):
i5 3570k
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
GTX 770
I've decided on this motherboard considering what is available in my country and from a value (price/performance) perspective. (The UD5H is 50% more expensive than the UD3H, which I didn't find to be justified.)
However, I cannot decide on which PSU to buy. These are the options that I am considering (from the limited products I can buy here):
Corsair GS Series - 600 W
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 550 W
Cooler Master GX2 - 650W
These are all priced at the same level (base price) - although there's a 9% premium on the Silent Pro Gold.
Would the Silent Pro Gold 550W PSU suffice if I want to overclock to, say, 4.5-.4.8Ghz with that processor and motherboard and to power that demanding graphics card? It is the one I want to get, as it is uniformly high quality and appears to be highly recommended.
The next tier of PSUs that are available are as follows:
Corsair GS Series 700 W - 22% more expensive than the base
Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 650 W - 34% more expensive than the base
Cooler Master GX2 750W - 20% more expensive than the base
So what's your recommendation?
