You will want a high quality 550W.

I like this one based on the Superflower Golden Green:

how is gold so much better than bronze?

scout_03 · Jun 7, 2014

this will tell you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus

GangsterPete · Jun 7, 2014

i did not understand that very well. I am a noob

n3cw4rr10r · Jun 7, 2014

Gold is more efficient than bronze. Simple answer.

GangsterPete · Jun 7, 2014

how would this be?

scout_03 · Jun 7, 2014

i would choose the tx for better quality and warranty even if it is a little bit more expensive .

n3cw4rr10r · Jun 7, 2014

I used a CX750 for couple years with my 7970 no issues.

P.S: I use the TX 850 now. Corsair makes great psus.

GangsterPete · Jun 7, 2014

i do not get why i would need a 750w psu

n3cw4rr10r · Jun 7, 2014

GangsterPete :

You dont. A 550w will be more than sufficient, The XFX 550w or the CX600 will work just fine for your build.

scout_03 · Jun 7, 2014

then use a 650 watts but you wont be able to use 2 gpu in the system lack of power cable for them both .

GangsterPete · Jun 7, 2014

now do i need gold or would bronze be fine

n3cw4rr10r · Jun 7, 2014

Bronze will work just fine. It is the same diff as walmart orange juice and tropicana orange juice. They will both serve your orange juice craving but the tropicana tastes better... best analogy I can think of ..

scout_03 · Jun 7, 2014

i am using a bronze one like the link and it work great .
