Hello guys,
I'm looking to buy a new PSU. I live in greece so the choices are kinda limited.
My current rig has pretty low consumption (i5 750 and radeon 6450) but im thinking of upgrading a GPU too in the near future.

So the two PSUs that im looking into are:
Corsair TX650m 100euros
OCZ Fatal1ty 750w 90euros

I know that the power from these two are way more than i need (especially the ocz one) but i cant find another with lower output atm.
Which one do you think? i was about to get the tx650m but i found the OCZ one with 10 euros less..
Thanks in advance!

the 650w, has 80+ which means it uses 80% less power while it's on, that the 750W, gold, and platinum 80+'s just use less and less. thats the difference.

Either would do you well, and would support any modern single graphics card.

Both are good quality, here is one list of quality psu's:

Do not worry about overprovisioning. A psu will consume only the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.
As a bonus, a psu will operate more efficiently and quietly in the middle third of it's range.

I'm leaning towards the OCZ since it's a bit cheaper and they both have 5 year warranty. (but corsair makes it difficult)
