Hello power supply help and motherboard

[ranij93]

I want to ask 2 questions. about a power supply i really like the Corsair PSU's im thinking about a "Corsair CMPSU-750HXEU" 750w Modular its really nice to get the cable management good and 750w should be enough for my system that im going to build with a Core i5 750, Corsair 2x2GB ddr3 1600 mhz, MSI P55 GD80, Coolermaster HAF 932 case. and im upgrading to Crossfire 4870 Im pretty sure that 750w could handle it right???

Is it worth goign for a modular PSU i mean the 750w modular is priced as a 950w standard. so would you guys go for a 950w? what do you think is nicer ?


And about the motherboards thinking about the price. the MSI P55 GD80 is pretty high price is it worth going with the GD80 insted of the GD65?

Thanks.

about PSU, stick with corsair, it's a high end psu...
750 is just enough to powered your system...
and about mobo... i never use Asus, so i don't have idea about that...

Asus what do you mean ? do you mean the motherboard? MSI?

I'm sorry, i mean MSI... My bad.. my bad...

Instead of crossfiring it, why not a single HD 5850/5870?
It's good investment for the future...

I do not use modular PSU's. I just drill extra holes in the bottom of my Antec 900 cases and tie down any cables I don't need.
