Hey! I need some comments on a great power supply for the money for my home-build. Right now I am considering the Corsair CX600, but was thinking about getting a modular PSU. I wouldn't like to spend terribly too much money on one. But, I also do not want to poop out on the PSU and ruin my build. I was considering the Corsair HX650 as a modular choice.
I was trying to stick with Corsair, as I have heard great about their PSUs. I have read that I need something with at least 40A on the 12v rail. Also, I would like to have at least 600w for this build. There are also plans for a sound card, a wireless NIC, and also a SSD in the future.
My theoretical build is as follows:
CPU:Phenom II X4 840
Motherboard:ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3
Case:Rosewill Challenger
Memory:G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600
HDD:HITACHI Deskstar 7K1000.D
CPU Cooler:Hyper 212 Plus
GPU:MSI R6850
Optical:LITE-ON iHAS-424
Card Reader:Rosewill IM5002
OS:Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
PSU:[INSERT PSU HERE]
Can anyone tell me if either power supply will be viable, and if so which would be the better choice. If not, what modular power supply would you recommend? And, which non-modular counterpart would you recommend? Also, if there are any issues with this build, feel free to bring them up. Thanks.
