Antec HCG 620w

[Fagen]

Hi all, I just want to know if a Antec HCG 620w is a good enough PSU to buy for high end gaming with this setup:

MSi 790GX GD65
AMD Phenom II x4 @ 3.4Ghz
2x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
MSI HD6870 Afterburner
WD BC 1TB HDD

I currently have a Cooler MAster GX550W but it's not keeping up.

Will you be overclocking at all or planning CrossFireX?

Even an Antec EA 650W is a big improvement over a CM GX.
I haven't read any reviews on the HCG models.
But i know CM GX are not great.

The hcg units are all seasonic based so they are good.and you dont need more then 450 watts for your system.that gx is just a bad psu.the 620 is enough even if you add a second 6870

I have an Antec HCG-520 and it's very reliable, as Obsidian has said; They are manufactured by Seasonic which is the very best.

The hcg units are all seasonic based ...

That's not quite correct.

In the High Current Gamer series:

The HCG-400, HCG-520, HCG-520M Blue and HCG-620 models are made by Seasonic.

The HCG-750, HCG-750 OC and HCG-900 models are made by Delta Electronics.

The models made by Delta are also very good.
