Good PSU for SLI and overclock

Robhao · Jan 8, 2014

Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my psu (CM GX450W) and i have around 80 USD to replace it, I got no brand preference but it has to be from Amazon and better if it is modular/semi modular cables.
This are my specs:
Mobo: MSI Z87 MPOWER SP
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k (Planning to overclock it in the future)
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212+
HDD: 2x WD 1 TB Black
RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB 1600 mhz
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 SC 4GB (Planning to get a second card for 2way-SLI next month)
5x 120mm case fans

Thank you for taking your time to read, and have a nice day.

Perhaps an EVGA SuperNova?

Although I would recommend putting down the extra cash on a Corsair HX/TX750, or a 750W XFX unit.

I was looking into that PSU, and been browsing the forums and I read some "EVGA is new in the PSU market, better get other brands"

Well here you go. It's 90 dollars 80 Plus & semi Mod. I always tell people don't skimp on the power supply. You want something that is reliable, has some self protecting circuit inside & always get about 100 watts more then you need. This ensures you'll never hear the fan, it won't get hot, it won't be under heavy stress. - http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Modular-Bronze-CX750M/dp/B00ALK3KEM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1389204737&sr=8-4&keywords=750w+modular+power+supply

Thank you for your reply, I was checking out that PSU too, do you got any ideas of the warranties outside the United States?

Cool thanks, now one last question and I will stop bothering ya what do you think about the EVGA PSU's heard of any trustable reviews of them? The Supernova NEX750G looks great and it's fully modular.

Yes that should do. I don't know what the metal bar is sticking out of one side does, but if it fits, that will work...

Bought the Corsair one!! Thank you all very much for your replies!

For overclocking you should have gone with the XFX.

Robhao · Jan 9, 2014

Well, I needed it to be from Amazon because I got pryme and I live in Central America which I need to use courrier agencies in here. The one you showed is damn great, but it was out of my spare money range, since I'm getting a GTX760 with it so I could not delay changing my CM GX 450W psu.. Thank you very much btw.

I understand , just wanted you to know that the CX quality isn't the greatest , but it will have no problem running your setup.

Thanks for posting on the forum.
