My GPU: ASUS R9 270X 2GB
My CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 3.4 GHz

So at first, I decided I was going to buy a
- Corsair CX750M http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051
Because of better cable management and more Watts for futures upgrades. But I read a lot of noise problems…

And then, I decided I wanted to buy a
-Corsair TX650M http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139031
Because of 5 years warranty and better quality.

Can anyone tell me more about these two Power supplies (+/-) and help me to decide my final choice.?

Or suggest to me something different just be sure it’s modular.

Thanks!!

You system is not going to be using anywhere near 70% to 90%??? of 550 watts. The 550 watt recommendation leaves 150-200 watts headroom. RealhardtechX maintains the most comprehensive power supply database on the internet. They don't just make numbers like 90% up.

Look at this......test system is an overclocked LGA 2011 i7 3960X 6 core 130w CPU. Your 4770 will use much less power as it's an 84w CPU.

Their test system..... under full load........ with a factory overclocked R9 270X pulls........332 watts at the wall. So a 550w power supply leaves you a full 200 watts headroom! That's why only a 500w unit is recommended with a...

The TX is better than the CX. The TX is aimed at the enthusiast crowd while the CX is a budget line.

With a 270X you only need a 500w power supply. 700 watts to Crossfire 2 of them.

This is a step up from either of the Corsair units. Seasonic G series 550w model. 80 Plus Gold certified and modular. Seasonic is the best. They make the top of the line Corsair Ax line.

I would avoid the EVGA. You can do better for the money.

The 650w and 750w Supernova units are made by FSP and just average to slightly below average quality. The 1000w and 1300w units are made by Super Flower and among the best units on the market. The 1500w unit is made by Etasis and also excellent. Those 3 are comparable with a Seasonic X.

When they say a 270x need a 500w power supply. Are they mean for all the system?
Can i have your comment about Enermax Triathlor 650M vs the Corsair TX650M?

Yes that is for the entire system and leaves plenty of headroom for overclocking. The Enermax and the Corsair TX650M are both very solid units. Of the 2 I would go with the cheaper as they are about the same in quality.

The Seasonic G I listed above is the best unit on this page by far though and is plenty of power and cheaper than some of these other units you have listed.

Seasonic G is 15$ more expensive from Corsair TX650M. (is worth 15$?)
Just i think the 650w is better because the power supply gonna use like 70%-75% from all watts.
The 550w power supply gonna use like 90%-95% from all watts.
So with 650w i have lower noice, lower temperatures and better performance.
(That i think).
I wait your answer.
Thanks again!

I would pay $15 more to get a Seasonic made 80 Plus Gold unit over the CWT made Corsair 80 Plus Bronze unit.

I found 2, 80 plus Platinum power supplies which cost as much as the Seasonic G:
-Xilence SQ Series 650W http://www.xilence.de/en/products/power-supplies/sq-series/sq-series-650w.html
-Antec EA-650W http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=704513&fid=11
Should i buy one of these two platinums or the Seasonic?
What you suggest?
Thanks again!

Xilence uses Andyson as their OEM on those models there are very few real reviews except for the 450w model which found good efficiency but slightly high 12v and 3.3v ripple.

The Antec is a good unit. I still don't know why you are looking at 650 w units that are going to run at 20-30% load most of the time. You system at max load will pull 300 watts or less.
