Hi everyone! Choosing a PSU for my build. The specs are down below, the main ones. I am thinking at least 700W but you guys may think differently. I am in the UK so no components from the US e.g. Newegg! Thanks for the continued support.

Specifications:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4Ghz (NO overclocking).
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX770 4GB (NO overclocking).
RAM: 32GB-1600Mhz 4x8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1.5V
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4
PSU: Not chosen
Case: Corsair 650D
Storage: 1x 1TB Seagate Barracuda and 1x Samsung Evo 840
2x DVD Drives

Thanks for helping!

If you stay with a single GPU: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

If you decide to SLI in the future: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750xxxb9

I would get a 750W PSU or higher. Get an 850W for maximum flexibility as you have the option to run SLI or Crossfire and just going by the current power requirement of the best AMD graphics cards (300W+) you never know what the future may hold.

The XFX PRO 850W Black Edition is a good deal at $160 and built by Seasonic. Solid choice.

+1^ Good quality, reliable, enough watts for a single or 2 gpu

Good point. I was going simply off the referenced 770 he had in his list, which even in SLI will be easily handled by a 750w. Never hurts to add more power though lol

thanks for all the replies. One concern though, the 750w xfx psu seems to have little reviews and poor reviews. Would anyone go with the Corsair AX860/750?

dude7691 · Mar 25, 2014

also any other recommendations. below 120 would be nice

It's a great PSU, but I still think you should go the extra to get an 850W for the flexibility. Will that 750W power 2x770s? Heck yeah! And with quite a bit to spare.

ok, ill go with that. Like dabs as well. Amazon don't give enough detail. Thanks for the help all of you!
