Hi, I've decided recently to upgrade my PSU first in preparation for upgrading for a 280x/290 around December/January.

I'm gonna have this for my system:

I5 3470(non-k)
Gigabyte H77N-Wifi motherboard (m-ATX)
1 x ddr3 stick
1 x 7200rpm HDD
1 x DVD/R drive
Sapphire 280x Toxic or 290(not sure which exact model yet will be available locally)

My choices for PSU's with similar prices locally are:

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-rm650

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-power-supply-evo650mpcgusa

Which one would probably be the best for 24/7 use with either a 280x Toxic or a plain 290?
 


Hi - I agree with the Platinum X660, but use this link, I suspect
the one from NCIX might be the XP version(potential coil whine) and not the XP2 version:

It's less $$ as well. Also be sure you use the promo code at checkout.
