Hi all
I'm gradually building my new PC, i've just bought the case and I want to buy a PSU next, i've been doing a hell of a lot of reading and my heads a little burned out, my current PC has a Hyper, cant remember the details but thats had a hammering and been going strong for three years with no issues what so ever
They dont really seem to be about anymore and after much reading I thought i'd consider the Sea Sonic X series, reviewers seem to like these a lot so I looked at the prices and
X750 = £140 GBP
X650 = £120 GBP
My questions are, do I need to pay the extra for the 750? O do I even need a PSU of this spec, I want to buy the best I can but these seem expensive, the only other model I have considered is the XFX but its an ugly looking thing and I dont really like green and its just based on a lower spec Seasonic than the X series?
Spec of my PC is rough at the mo but its something like
Asus main board socket AM3
Either a Phenom 4 or 6
1 x GPU Radeon 5850/70
2 x Western Digital 10K drives
Couple of optical drives
Creative sound card
Thanks for any help
