Hi guys,

Do i need a better power supply?
If the anser is yes, could you guys help me plz?

My current supply: Cooler master GX 750W Bronze

Here is my rig:
Motherboard Asrock z77 Professional
CPU Intel 3770K overclocked at 4.4ghz (cooled with Corsair H100i)
GPU 2 Gigabyte GTX 970's in SLI (overclocked)
Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600
SSD kingston 120GB
SSD Samsung 850 500GB
HDD Western Digital 500GB
DVD Writer
2 120mm Be quiet Fans (H100i)
1 140mm Be quiet Fan
2 140mm Corsair Fans (Case intake fans 780T)
3 120mm Corsair Fans
1 LED strip


Is there any good power supply in this list thats good enough for my rig:
*Corsair RM1000
*be quiet! POWER ZONE 1000W
*EVGA 1000W Supernova G2

This are 1000W supply's dont know if i need one of these or i should be fine with a lower Wattage supply 850/860W?

And could it be i'm now currently limited in overclocking (CPU&GPU) because of current supply?

Thx for the help guys!

Get the 850W G2 , it's more than enough power , and it's quality is unmatched , made by Super Flower best in the PSU industry.

I own 2 of them.

Here's a summary from jonnyguru the AUTHORITY ON POWER SUPPLIES.


Buy one. :D Do I really need to say anything else at this point? Once again, EVGA has something awesome here the competition can't seem to touch price wise. Performance? There are better units, yes. Not very many, but they exist. The real story here is how EVGA keeps managing to offer this kind of performance and still be more affordable than nearly everything else out there, and they have pretty much found perhaps the only OEM on Earth capable of doing it for them. It's got to be real nice being EVGA...

A quality 850W PSU will be plenty for your build even with the overclocks, even a decent 750W would probably be OK but unfortunately the Cooler Master GX 750 is a pretty poor excuse for a PSU. Here's a review http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=188

I'd recommend the EVGA G2 850W or Seasonic X-850 or Cooler Master V850 (they do make some good units) or similar PSU's made by Delta, Seasonic or Super Flower. There's a Tiered list you can check here http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Tier 1 are the best and the quality decreases as you go down.

The Good:

outstanding ripple suppression
excellent voltage regulation
fully modular
semi-fanless mode
nice blacked out cabling

The Bad:

nothing at all

The Mediocre:

reviewing awesome units is getting dull... where's that gutless wonder in my pile? Second in line? Well, at least I'm guaranteed something interesting in all the wrong ways in a couple weeks...
