Hello everyone,

I have the following parts raring to go, I just need a reco for a solid bottom-mounted PSU that's at least 80+ Silver certified (If you must know, I'm leaning towards Corsair).

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
XFX HD-587X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5870 1GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB

How much power would I need to sustain this rig... 750-850W? Also, I have one of them closed-door CPU cabinets with ventilation only at the back so I need more than just the stock CPU/GPU cooling. I've been looking at this guy as a cheap, effective solution. Anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks for looking, and criticisms of the existing setup is moot but welcome nonetheless. If you manage to convince me, I might even end up returning them :p Peace.

Thanks everyone, for replying. The reason I said maybe for Crossfire, was cuz I simply cannot afford TWO 5870s at the moment. If I upgrade at a later point in time, will the 650TX suffice? For now I think I'll be satisfied with it.

Winner: jsc :D
