I'm new to building computers, and I know that EVGA is a fairly reliable brand when it comes to making graphics cards, but are they still reliable for PSUs? I'd like to get this one: EVGA
110-B1-0750-VR, but I can't find many reviews on it. What do you guys think?

That one is a piece of junk.

The EVGA G2 , P2 , T2 are all top tier supplies , some of the best on the planet.

I own the 850w G2.



This one is top quality.

Alright, thank you. While I'm here though, I may as well as you as well, just to be sure. I've asked around and people have said that with this build that even a 550W PSU would be fine. What do you think? I know I've seen power consumption benchmarks that say this card can take up 360W of power. What do you think? Would 600W be enough?

I'm interested in what makes the 600b inferior. It seems to have pretty good reviews, from newegg (though I understand to take this with a grain of salt) and from techpowerup. Not trying to doubt you here, just interested in what makes you say it would be better to go with a high quality 550W.

Okay thanks. And you guys are sure I only need 550W? I can tell you guys know a lot more than me, but I just don't want to have too little power and get screwed.

I see you gave him jonny's site for the psu reviews one thing about him he gives a tare down review and states what platform and parts are used. even if its name brand it may be some wool to be pulled over your eyes .. to bad sites like toms don't fell they can do a tare down review just the hype/promote ones ...
