hi everyone,
OK, here's the deal : i'm gonna buy a new PSU for my next build (GTX970-i5_4670k-120v_coolermaster-4x2_8GB_ram-Z97xkillerASRock_mobo-) so i have a financial crisis here so, no more money for the PSU and my choices are limited and we don't have all kinds of PSUs here in Algeria so..... should i pick "CX700 CORSAIR-non-modular" or "thermaltake smart se730w-modular" ....Please help :( i'm confused

Get a good quality PSU - from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html.

Don't get Corsair CS or CX at all.

Get a Thermaltake Toughpower series PSU. Not Smart SE.

Or get a Seasonic of any description. Or any XFX.

700w is recommended for sli, so I would take the tt tough power 650 now, and when you can afford to sli, get a better 700-750w psu to match it. Not being able to see what choices for your budget you have is also limiting what advice you get. If you have a local store website, that would be helpful.
