Ya, I might use SLI but not right now. that could be in the future. I'm thinking to choose 650W PSU. Is that okay..?? :)

Yes, 650 is good but if you plan to sli then you need something bigger later :)

If u choose to do SLI in future, then get something like the corsair TX650/Ax 760W. That would last in the long run.

It's very hard to get high-end branded PC components here. Market is too small to sell gaming or high-end workstation PC here. But seller can provide when customer orders a PC but that's too expensive cause of airport custom and taxes and seller's high profit margin. That's why I told my friend to bring some components from US in his arrival.

XFX PRO650W Core Edition 80+ Bronze
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045L5LGI/?tag=pcpapi-20
http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=100003150...

It's got 2 6-pin and 2 (6+2)-pin PCIe connectors. So you can SLI in future.


XFX looks good but how about this one :)

You increased your budget? I searched for PSUs under 80$. Yeah that's good

There're 1 PCIe connector (4+4) pins. This PSU is just for single GPU. If you planning to use SLI / Dual graphic card, you should choose a PSU more than 650W.

Well i'm not planning to do SLI, u do.
However, the 4+45 pins is the cpu connector.
As chimera201(thnx for giving the specs) has said, it has four 6+2 pins,then what are you waiting for? It would do nice.

Oh,sorry sourodip. Perhaps chimera201 was right. actually there was some confusing specs sheet in the website I was checking for :)

But I found Corsair 750W PSU $10 less expensive than Corsair 650W in microcenter.com. So i would like to go with 750W. Affordable and more capacity too. :)  :)

No, it's the modular version and is better than the normal versions but it is not recommended for doing SLI/xfire. the CS 650M/XFX 650W were rather good.
