I couldn't find the PSU in the list

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

It's a good PSU and compatible with Haswell CPU's.
I also couldn't find on EggXpert so i think it's newer model PSU

What About the Antec High Current Gamer 850W Modular HCG-850M

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

Yes it's also solid PSU so it's a tier 2 PSU and just for note when you come to chose PSU choose between Sesonic (#1), XFX (made by Seasonic), Antec and Corsair (Except CX line)!
And you'll be fine!

benkrems · Mar 15, 2014

Ok what Seasonic PSU do you recommend?

Would like 850W under $200

Pc Case Gear because they are the cheapest

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

benkrems :

Then get that Silverstone http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_995&products_id=25473

benkrems · Mar 15, 2014

Proply wont do Sli So I want a PSU that will last a long time

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

benkrems :

Really won't do SLI? Because later if you change your decision, after purchasing PSU it will be too late
If you won't do SLI than quality good 650W would plenty!

benkrems · Mar 15, 2014

Well I wont be doing high end gaming and stuff like that and a Gtx 780 is a very good GPU so I might go with the Seasonic 750 for head space

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

benkrems :

Yes, you'll be fine with that PSU!

benkrems · Mar 15, 2014

Okay thank heaps finely have the system I want.

And will a i54670k be good for gaming with out the GPU be bottlenecked?

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

benkrems :

It's an awesome CPU for gaming and won't bottleneck anything! so the difference between i7 and i5 in gaming = 0~5% and i think it's not worth the money unless you're going to make photo video editing machine!

Is the Silverstone Strider Gold ST85F-GS 850W PSU good
