I´d get a CORSAIR Gaming Series GS700 700W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139024

or

CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 Certified Modular Active PFC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010

Looks good, but it is a non-modular PSU...

 

[super300]

I actually need just 650W, but do you recommend a "spare" wattage for quiet and stable PSU operation?

Can you post your config, so we can help you to establish a power limit for your rig?

See about three posts up. He has a i5 and a GTX 580.

A system with a single GTX 580 requires a 600W PSU with one 75W 6-pin PCIe power connector and one 150W 8-pin PCIe power conenctors and 42A on the 12V rails. Amperage on the 12V rails is more important than the wattage rating when determining whether or not a PSU is sufficient; most of the power draw in modern PCs is on the 12V rails from the CPU/GPU. Real world power draw is not likely to exceed that of the 447W drawn by this sytem with a highly OCed, power-hungry i7 965: http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-580-review/7
The XFX Core 550W:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=125449&CatId=5431 has 44A on the 12V rails and sufficient power connectors for your build.

Thank you guys. I mention once again that i want a fully modular PSU.
By the way, i don't live in USA so newegg is not relevant to me. Can you post more PSUs? Not all of the PSUs are available where i live, and they are not always the same price as in newegg...

 

[jemm]

Where are you at? Can you provide online links to your local stores?

 

[super300]

I am in israel. I can provide you some links, but the sites are in hebrew, so i dont know how much it helps... You can traslate it with google translate..!
Anyway, almost all of the PSUs are available in israel. here are some links:
http://www.ivory.co.il
http://ksp.co.il/

But after all you should post more PSUs, because most of them are available

EDIT: Here is a link of modular PSUs. Which one of them do you recommend?

[super300]

Wha t do you say about Seasonic M12II-620 Bronze 620W? And do you think that the 12v rail is enough for my PC?

 

[jemm]

Thank you for the links. but it seems all upside down and backwards to me, perhaps someone with fluently in Hebrew?

Anyway, if I was you I would take a 650W Certified Modular Active PFC from Corsair. It is an excellent brand, and they give you 5 years warranty with an efficient RMA service. I am sure you´ll find something like that at your local store.

 

[Rugger]

The Seasonic M12II-620 is an outstandinf PSU, with 48A on the 12V rails it is electrically sufficient for your PC, and it has sufficient PCIe power connectors.

I can´t tell about Seasonic because I have never had one of them, but again get Corsair for peace of mind. Its HX Series are all modular as you wish.

[super300]

What do you say about CP-9020002-NA TX650 V2. ?
It is cheaper... Does the other PSU worth its price?

 

[Rugger]

That Corsair PSU is actually made by Seasonic and is an excellent PSU. Either it or the M12II-620 are more than enough for your PC; get whichever one costs less.

Edit: To be specific the Corsair TX650V2 is made by Seasonic; Corsair provides tech/customer support and warranties the product.

 

[jemm]

Yes, one store sells a Corsair CP-9020002-NA TX650 V2. So is it the best choise?
Is corsair the best brand on the market?

You want to look at HX series, which are modular, like the link I provided you above.

 

[Rugger]

Corsair makes modular versions of the the Enthusiast series PSUs, too; designated by an M on the end of the model number like TX650M.

 

[super300]

Is the TX650 semi modular, and the HX650 is fully modular, and this is the reason for the price difference?
