Hello
Currently I have the following:
I5 2500k
ASUS P8Z77-M PRO
8gb
ssd and 2 hdd's
670 gtx 2gb
And either a corsair 850 tx or a Chieftec Nitro Series BPS-750C (can't remember which one I have in currently - can check, but in the end I want to downgrade nonetheless)
As you can see, there's plenty of extra power there and I looked through older posts and some other forums/reviews for a decent psu.
I would like a good psu that I can keep for a good few years (3-5 I suppose) and at some point I will upgrade the above to something better. Have thought about buying a gtx 780, but I'll most likely wait for the next cards (not in a hurry) and my cpu/board will need an upgrade in a few years.
So on to the psu - I thought around 500w would be decent if I want to make sure I have enough for an upgrade later on. I looked at the cooler master v550s, but it seems like people around here don't see it as good as the alternatives. Then I thought the Seasonic G-550 would be a nice choice, but it seems XFX Core Edition 550W is recomended more.
I don't mind paying the extra for the Seasonic if it's worth it. Of what I could see, I could only get the V2 of the XFX, is it as good as the first version?
Thanks!
