Need help selecting PSU

nick34 · Dec 4, 2013

I m tying to fugure out which PSU to buy for my first build. Newegg offers the:

CORSAIR 650 TX $89.99

and the

Antec TP-70C $99.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371073&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL120313&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL120313-_-EMC-120313-Latest-_-PowerSupplies-_-17371073-L09D

I am builing a gaming PC with i7-3770k, GeForce GTX 760, and 16gb memory, and the case comes with 5 fans installed.

I would get this one for a rig with single GTX760 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 It is plenty for the system

I'd get the 650 TX. You'll have enough power to add a second 760 and it's a higher quality unit than the Antec, in my opinion.

Would that be enough to upgrade later on, for instance 2 GPUs?

For two GTX 760 you will need a PSU with 4 PCIe power connectors and recommended size is 700watts In that case I would go with this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx
