*Current setup*
Case: Xion Predator 970 Gaming Series Mid Tower Case
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2500K 3.30 GHz
Memory: Corsair High Perform Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz 2x = 16GB
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LX Intel Z68
Video: AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 16X
Powersupply: 800 Watts - XtremeGearGaming
So my current power supply is dying. I've done plenty of stress tests and I'm sure its the psu.
I'm looking to replace the psu and video card with a EVGA GTX780 6GB [Link]
I won't be getting this card for 1-2 months so I'll need a PSU that works for my current card and that will work for the GTX780 6GB.
Now as far as the recommendations go I have looked at these PSU's
Preferably Fully Modular
Corsair RM850 / 750 [Link]
Corsair AX860 / AX860i [Link]
EVGA 850 (Consideration) [Link]
Now I'm awfully skeptical after reading about recalls and bad reviews on Corsair powersupply. With having no knowledge in this area I'm 100% open to suggestions as long as it fits the needs and I would prefer fully modular.
[Link] 780's Requirements
" Requirements: Minimum of a 600 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 42 Amps.) An available 6-pin PCI-E power connector and an available 8 pin PCI-E power connector Total Power Draw : 250 Watts"
With the GTX780 having a minimum of 600 - The EVGA 850 is perhaps overkill.
