Hi,
I'm having a problem picking a new 750W psu to replace my standing one. I have an an i5-3330 CPU and am r9 270. I plan on going crossfire in the future, hence the big wattage. I found the Corsair RM750 fitted my needs perfectly ( got allot of Corsair stuff in my build already)... Are there any other modular options which might be cheaper ?? I don't neceserilly need 80+ gold but full modular, or at least semi-modular are a must !

Thnx allot !

Even if you crossfire your 270, you'll be fine with a good 650W+ PSU.

The R9-270 uses approximately 177W (15A on the 12V rail), so two will consume around twice 354W (30A). The rest of your system will use in most cases up to 150W (13A, but usually far less) depending on your CPU, and if you OC anything, depending on your CPU you're looking at another 150-200W cushion.

750W is good if you're a big overclocker with those GPUS and any CPU. Otherwise, you can get away with a good 600 or 650W supply with that setup. Key words are "good supply".

If you're not OC'ing, you'll probably use a max of around 520W with any available processor on the market. Overclocking, build in a 200W+ cushion.

A Seasonic SSR 650 will be a great supply for that setup:

Seasonic is among the top manufacturers of PSUs in the world. That supply, in particular, has a 5-year warranty, it's modular, and $100.

SuperFlower really is one of the top manufacturers. Flextronics is another. I would even trust most high-end Channel Well supplies as my TX950 (now in someone else's PC) was among the top reviewed on Jonnyguru.

To be honest... I looked for aesthetics to.. I mean - I have a windowed case and the RM750 looks the best out of all I've seen. Plus my case (Corsair 350D) has ALLOT of open vents (on top etc..) so it's pretty loud and since the RM750 has zero fan mode at under 40% loads, that sounded perfect for my use situation.. So I think I should re-orientate my question - Is the RM750 THAT bad ?? I'm a general gamer and an occasional video editor...
