Kamran Memmedli · Mar 19, 2014

hi my build will be
i5-4670k(i will overlock after 1 year)
8gb ripjaws 1600mhz
hyper 212 evo
vi hero
and nvidia 760
so i want to buy cheap psu (corsair 430-500m) and after 1 year my plan will be buy 80+gold 750-850 psu for sli
someone said me(i forgot

you cant sli760 with cx600m . your system may be fail
so is that true? and is my cheap psu project harmfull for my build?

i would get the 500watt power supply for your build, although i would prefer you grab a cheap 650watt bronze certified 80 plus power supply on sale for 50 bucks on newegg, and if you are going to SLI in the future go with the 850 watt psu 80 plus bronze certified just to be on the safe side, dont sli with 600 watt you'll blow it up lol.

Yes it's true "CX" line is crappy!
For SLI get 650~700W quality good PSU form brands like Seasonic, XFX, Antec and last from Corsair!

But I'd suggest you getting higher wattage PSU now than changing it in a future!

Ahmadjon :

Agreed

Kamran Memmedli · Mar 19, 2014

so 80+ bronze xfx or seasonic psu can this job(SLI) without problem? what is the diffrenece between bronze and gold certified(in sli)?

Kamran Memmedli · Mar 19, 2014

D-Saad Malik you recommended me 599$ psu

Ahmadjon · Mar 19, 2014

Kamran Memmedli :

About 80+ standard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus
And for SLI you need 650 or 700W PSU, #1 brand is Seasonic, XFX made by Seasonic other brands like Antec and Corsair also good brands except Corsairs "CX" line!

LavyDunois · Mar 19, 2014

Kamran Memmedli :

Ah no not SLI that XFX was meant for single GPU usage.
For SLI and i see you want to overclock, i'd get a good 850w PSU.

Corsair AX860 or Cooler Master Vanguard v850 are good choices and are both in the Tier 1 of the eggXpert PSU tier list.

Ahmadjon :

I'd get a bit more headroom. 850w is a bit overkill but running at peak 730w ~ for a long time is also not good.

This also leaves a bit of upgrading for other parts if he fancys it.

LOL! 850W is enough for 780's!!! SLI!!! and 750W is overkill for his system even with overclocking!

LavyDunois · Mar 19, 2014

Ahmadjon :

Oh both are recommended for 300w (if you want to OC the GPU's). 300+300+180(from the CPU at a high OC). And i have not even put the other periphirals like RAM, fans, cooler & storage in the calc. It would run but with a 750w you can't overclock the GPU's to the edge. Not saying he would but if his system goes poof because of the heavy OC it wasn't me.

At load it will probably pull about 600~650w @ stock speeds. Full load + OC i can only guess, but i think in the low 800w from what i can get from the calc. Though that is with some Cap age-ing.

OP can try it himself http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine if he wants.

Kamran Memmedli · Mar 19, 2014

so my choice will be 750w

LavyDunois · Mar 19, 2014

Kamran Memmedli :

Keep an eye on the GPU's when you OC them and it should be good.

Ahmadjon · Mar 19, 2014

Kamran Memmedli :

You'll be fine with 750W!!!
Good Luck

Kamran Memmedli · Mar 19, 2014

i found corsair tx850m. is this better than SeaSonic SS-750AM?

Ahmadjon · Mar 19, 2014

Kamran Memmedli :

850W is kinda overkill but it also made by Seasonic, go for Seasonic if you can!
