Power supply

Hi what is the best and most quiet power supply i can buy +/- 750 W.

Best is relative. Depends how much you want to spend.
For me, the best is Corsair HX 750W. Very good PSU, very good price, modular and really quiet.

Thnx, for the information. Indeed, after searching more forum's, that didn't made it easier! your choice looks like the best option for me. (The price wasn't really a factor) I think I need a 850 W for my configuration CPU: Intel Core i7 -920 / Motherboard: ASUS - P6T Deluxe V2 / Mem: (3 x 2GB) - 2000MHz DDR3-2000 / Video card: Sapphire VAPOR-X HD 4870 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E / HDD: 1 TB. / Blue-ray cd/dvd writer: Pioneer BDR-203BK.

Unless you're getting a second video card, Corsair HX520 is plenty of power.

A 750TX like I have would even be fine for your setup.

This psu can sustain without problems SLI/CF so you don't need 850W but if the money is no problem then go for it. Remember, buy HX not TX.

Yea the HX is the modular and has a higher efficiency rating than my TX. Just saying the TX is still a very good PSU for the money and plenty for your system.

Thanks guy’s, I made up my mind, the HX it is. I will order it now and start building.
Thanks for all the help. Let’s fire up the Amp’s.
Ps. Did you also had a hard time finding a nice case with a CAG (Chassis Air Guide) without modding it your self?

No idea what that is. My next case will be the CM HAF 922.

It ‘s a special plastic shaft that is mounted on the side panel of the case, to improve the air flow to the Intel i7 CPU-fan. (recommended bij intel)

The cases: Thermaltake TT M9 series and the Apevia X series have a CAG already build in.
