PSU for FX 8350 AND GTX 880

XCalinX · Aug 17, 2014

Hello guys,
I need a new PSU for my fx 8350 overclocked to 4.7ghz and the upcoming nvidia gtx 880 that I will buy around Christmas.
I can't tell you the exact budget because in my country prices are very different. I've been looking at the Corsair CX750M, so something around its price will do it.
Thanks for answering
PS: I might get a 9590 later (AMD Fan) but im not sure about it.

The CX series is a bad choice as it is not high quality products.

Check this out to help you pick.

I recommend any Bronze 750W minimum from Antec, EVGA, SeaSonic, Thermaltake to name a few.

First off, 650W is already WAY more than enough.

Second, do not bother getting a 9590, instead watercool your 8350 and overclock it to 9590 speeds yourself.
That is the only difference between those 2 CPUs.

Third, Thermaltake PSUs are mostly junk, but you can use that list to get a decent 600-650w unit.

as said above cx series psu are not made for gaming its for general home and office use so if u want to stick to crosair then get a rm/ax/hx/tx series of psu or else get a seasonic or xfx.......i will not trust the cx series with an overclocked machine.....and if u really need good performance then go for the i5 4690k processor and if u are not planning on sli then stich to a 650 watt psu no need for a 750 watt ....

Go for the EVGA B2 750W, it's $66 at the moment and great quality.
Wattage is overkill, but it doesn't matter. You won't run into any problems overclocking and it'll be running at it's highest efficiency possible.

Novuake :

I currently use the Seasonic S12II 520W. I've been looking at the 620w version of it but its not modular and my case is a small midtower
my 8350 is also oced to 4.7ghz under the corsair h80i

Really, can't answer this question as of this time. Let 880 rill out and then ask. It is lot preferable way than asking for some thing which is not yet happened. In MHO.

XCalinX :

It is modular and a great unit.

I was talking about the S12II series not M12II
I'll look for some PSUS on our local website and ill come back later

I went for the Coolermaster V650

Novuake · Aug 21, 2014

XCalinX :

Good choice, one of the few Cooler Master PSUs that are good.

XCalinX · Aug 25, 2014

What is the difference between the V650 and V650S? I ordered the V650 but it seems that they will send me the V650s

Novuake · Aug 25, 2014

Not really sure what the actual difference is, but still a very good PSU.

Alex Kelly · Aug 26, 2014

The V650 is fully modular, the V650S is cheaper and only semi modular. They shouldn't send you a cheaper unit than you paid for.

XCalinX · Aug 27, 2014

Alex Kelly :

Huh? It says V650S on the box but V650 on the actual PSU, and reviews of the V650 non S show it to be semi modular.
