I have 5 HDDs and will be getting a second 7870 XT, so I need to upgrade my 550W PSU.

I need at least 750W I believe.

It seems 750W PSUs start at around £70.

I only want to pay between £70 and £90.

These are my options:

  • ■£70 - 750W Corsair Builder Series 750CX 80PLUS Bronze (non-modular)
    ■£71 - 750W XFX Pro Core Edition 80PLUS Bronze (non-modular)
    ■£71 - 750W Corsair Builder Series CX750M 80PLUS Bronze (modular)
    ■£83 - 850W XFX Pro XXX Edition 80PLUS Bronze (modular)
    ■£84 - 750W Corsair CS750M CS 80 Plue GOLD-RATE 12V (modular)
    ■£90 - 750W be quiet! Power Zone (modular)
Which would you go for and why?

EDIT: I should have checked if these PSUs have the correct cabling for 2x video cards. I'll assume for now that they do.

I wouldn't go for the Corsair CX series, they generally have pretty naff parts in them, and might blow after a short amount of time.

Conversely, the XFX PSUs are actually pretty darn decent, I'd say you'd be well off with the 71 quid non-modular one (although it's your preference if you want to go modular!)
