Need replacement power supply for gaming.

Timekeepsonslippin · Mar 2, 2014

Current parts:

R9 270x GPU
i5-750 OC'd to 3.7GHz per core, from 2.66 stock
P7P55D Motherboard
2x 2GB (4GB total) RAM
1x DVD/Blueray Drive
1x HDD
Sound Card
Wireless Network Adapter

The power supply being replaced is an "Antec EA-650 650W".

Need recommendations for a good power supply that can run the above with ease, hopefully with room for upgrades. Was hoping to have at least 8GB RAM total fairly soon, and be able to have my CPU overclocked to 3.7GHz with no issues at full load.

Whatever model I buy should be from an online shop that accepts PayPal and ships within/to Canada.

Thank you.

Antex EA-650 is a good PSU and is sufficient for your requirements even if you want to OC to 3.7GHz and addition of 8GB RAM, there is no issue with current PSU unless it is damaged.

It's damaged. It's made buzzing sounds since I bought it but it worked so I didn't bother returning it. In recent months the computer has started freezing randomly for about 1 second and the sound loops whatever was playing in the last 1/20th of a second or so when it froze. I cannot return it as I've owned it for a few years, and I'd like a different model, maybe from a different company.

Get Corsair HX 650W, it is tier2 brand which is very good. It has 54Amps on+12v rail which is excellent and it has 85% + efficiency which is also very good. You won't be disappointed.

Remember, your CPU and GPU both draw power from +12v rail so make sure that you've 40+amps on +12v rail.

Okay, I'll pick solution after I've ordered, might be a little while.
I'll leave this open for input from anyone else until then.

Thank you for your prompt help.
