Hey guys, so I pretty much finished my build today, except for the PSU.

I can't, for the life of me find one, that is good for what I want out of my gaming pc.
I want to OC, up to 4.2ghz if not more (if possible) and also OC my GPU.

So this is my build. My CPU cooler is the Alpenföhn Brocken 2, which seems to be pretty good in terms of cooling if I want to OC.
What about the PSU listed on here? Is it any good? Or are there way better options in that price range?

Yeah.., germany is very expensive. :/

Thank you! Would you rather get your Corsair CX 750W +80 Bronze than this one?

Why is the 650W pricier than the 750W?

Alright, I look into both of them, thanks a lot for your suggestions.

The Corsair CX series has 80+ Bronze efficiency. Also the CX series uses low quality components and low build quality. The CS Series has 80+ Gold efficiency. Refer to this list when buying power supply. http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

I recommend getting this XFX 650w power supply. Its 80+ Bronze, however it is built by Seasonic, which is the company also building the high end Corsair power supplies.

650W will be more than enough for your build above. http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/650-Watt-XFX-XXX-Edition-Modular-80--Bronze_820949.html

That xfx 650 is plenty. It has 52 watts on the 12V rail and is manufacturer by Seasonic - the best of the best.

The GTX 770 requires 42A on the 12V rail. Any good 600W or bigger with a minimum of 42amp on the 12V r ail will do it. Don't buy a cheap brand though or you may regret it later.
