What PSU would fit this build

[Mike20_14]

hi ppl im building a pc and i recently checked some reviews of the PSU i was intending to get which is a 600w OCZ GameXStream and they were not good so i decided to search for another PSU here are the build specs
Case:NZXT LexaS case
Ram:kingston(2x4GB)DDR3 133 MHZ CL9 V1.5
HDD:Western Digital (WD) Caviar BLUE WD5000AAKX 500GB SATA 6GB/s 16MB Cache HDD
i might get a caviar black
GPU:Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 1GB GDDR5(non ti)
CPU:Intel® Core™ i5-2400 3.1GHz Processor
Mobo:ASUS P8H67-M LE Socket 1155 motherboard
and my old dvd drive which i think is a samsung writemaster 18x
i checked some PSUs and i found 1 for my budget its a antec neo eco the 520W is in the range of my budget maybe the 620w but ill get that only if the 520 wont be working with this system i live in egypt and i have like 450EGP(75USDs) budget for the PSU max so mind that there are some extra bucks on any psu
Note:i might be adding another hard drive maybe doing some upgrades so it would be prefered that the psu is slightly more than enough for this build

Antec make decent PSUs on the whole, but for your system do try and stretch to the 620w model.

The psu you need is almost entirely determined by the graphics card/s it needs to drive.
Assuming a normal complement of a couple of hard drives and a dvd, here is what is recommended:

GTX550ti needs 400w with 24a on the 12v rails plus one 6-pin PCI-E power lead.

GTX560 needs 450w with 24a on the 12v rails plus two 6-pin PCI-E power leads.

GTX560Ti needs 500w with 30a on the 12v rails plus two 6-pin PCI-E power leads.

GTX570 needs 550w with 38a on the 12v rails plus two 6-pin PCI-E power leads.

GTX580 needs 600w with 42a on the 12v rails plus one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI-E power lead.

GTX590 needs 700w with 50a on the 12v rails plus two 8-pin PCI-E power leads or 4 6-pin power leads.

Do not skimp on quality.
My short list of quality psu's would include Seasonic, PCP&C, Antec, Corsair, and XFX.

Again the antec neo eco 620w will serve you well.

 

[Mike20_14]

the neo eco 620w is kind of expensive ill only get it if there is no other alternative
what bout neo eco 520w,BP550w plus,HCG 520 or Truepower 550w would those work

 

[Uther39]

You should really try for the 620w to give you a bit of head room, but the 520w will be ok.

u mean by ok that it gives me some extra space or its jus enoughand i listed some 550w PSUs in my previous post if any of them is better than the neo eco 520 which 1 would be the best for my build

 

[Uther39]

Well out of the ones you listed I would only consider the antecs.

 

[Mike20_14]

Well out of the ones you listed I would only consider the antecs.

they are all antec PSUs -.- those are the antec PSUs that fit my budget which 1 of them will be the best for my build
Antec neo eco 520w
Antec Basiq 550w plus
Antec High Current Gamer 520w
Antec Truepower 550w
which 1 of those is the best

 

[Uther39]

They are? Oh yes so they are sorry its early here. Again the ante neo eco is the best, but I suppose the true power with the extra 30w is better for you.

 

[Uther39]

Just read a review on the true power550w' go for that one as apparently its the best in its class.

i just checked its price and it costs more than the neo eco 620w
its 1 of those then which would be better
Antec neo eco 520w
Antec Basiq 550w plus
Antec High Current Gamer 520w

 

[Uther39]

Antec High Current Gamer 520w

Don't forget, if you doing heavy cpu (or gpu) overclocking, these number are not correct. For instance Guru3d suggest a 650w psu for GTX580 on an average system and recommends a 1000w psu with SLI and overclocking.
