Power supply qs

[g8mou]

im building a gaming pc

here is my specs, more are coming

case: CM storm enforcer
CPU: i5 2500K (will try OC)
motherboard: gigabyte z68xp-ud4
cpu cooler: CM V8
ram: plan on getting the gskill sniper 8GB since v8 is BIG!
graphic card: hd 6850 mostly

power supply?!

ive read so many reviews.......still cant come up with the best choice
with the build im having. i would say a 750W is more than enough, correct?

that leaves to the question, which brand? corsair (very $$), OCZ (is this good brand, many say yes, many says no) Antec ($$$ too)

looking for a modular supply ofc

any suggestions?!


thanks!

With a single HD6850 500watts is more than enough so 750 is plenty! OCZ is an OK brand. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341041

Yeah 750W is more than enough. I'd say 600W Minimum to be safe.

i think im going for 6870 now....
750W still more than enough ?!

OCZ seems to have good quality power supply, but not sure why some ppl have issues with it? anyone using ocz here?

750w is enough to run 2 x 6870's
