I would get at least 600w, and would get a brand that has a good reputation, like Seasonic, EVGA, NZXT, Corsair, etc.

Eduello · Jun 6, 2014

A 500W+ from Seasonic, XFX, Antec or Corsair (AX, TX, and HX series only) should do.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 6, 2014

A Seasonic made 550w and Sniper ream 1866.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 6, 2014

Those are all poor quality.

freeracercolin · Jun 6, 2014

Agreed. You should try and shop reputable brands like Corsair, Seasonic, EVGA, NZXT, and XFX.

thanks
pd: like i said, im form uruguay, so parts of pc are expensive compare with Usa, europe, becouse of the taxes!

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 6, 2014

EVGA look for only G2 and P2 units the rest are not the greatest.

Eduello · Jun 6, 2014

Antec HGC-520M is poor quality? I thought it's based on a Seasonic design.
It's also on the 2A tier here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Ok, I was unaware of that. Cooler Master seems to be the best quality for what is available to you.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 6, 2014

It's ok quality, the best in the list , don't consider any of them top or even 2nd tier.

Eduello · Jun 6, 2014

Huh, funny, I always considered Seasonic good.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 6, 2014

Cooler master V series 700 , 850 , 1000 are fantastic , better than any Antec.

Eduello · Jun 6, 2014

Oh yeah, I forgot all about those.

SteamStyle1 · Jun 11, 2014

what would you recommend? a corsair Cx600 v2 80plus or a corsair Cx750 80plus bronze??? consider i would Oc the cpu!

freeracercolin · Jun 11, 2014

SteamStyle1 :

The Corsair 750w one. You can definitely OC with that one, plus you have upgrade room.

You should be good with that too, but your OC MIGHT have to go down if you crossfire
