Is that a must ?
I got the 600W for really cheap (was used for 11 months)
can upgrade to Corsair MX 750 for 65$ (additional)

It's not a quality power supply to run a 780.

What's your budget and country.

Israel.
I buy only used or almost new second hand.
The price for that assembly in the cheapest store is 1730 $
I got it all for 1140 $
The GPU is almost new, the rest is 11 months old.

I would say 750 or 850. I just got my hx850 corsair and it should be perfect.

You don't need 750 or 850w to run a 780 , a quality 650w will do it.

It will run it ,just keep in mind to upgrade in the future.


I prefer not to upgrade but to buy once and for many years.
How is it that today it will run but in the future it would require upgrading?

It would be better than what you have , and enough power on the 12v rail for the 780.

But good enough ?
Compared to the current one, worth extra 45$ ?

Ok I`ll try to get it.
Is it also of better quality than the Litepower, and not just the W rating ? More economical ?
Would that be sufficient once and for all. (I even leave the DVD disconnected most of the time)

Finally I bought the SeaSonic Platinum-660 (SS-660XP2 Active PFC F3).

It`s Great !

It has a hybrid option so that the fan won`t even turn on until 30% consumption is reached.

I use it for almost two months and never heard the fan ! Superb economy.
