What PSU I should buy?

I'd say anywhere from 500 watts to 600 watts would be more than enough. In truth, you need to pay more attention to the amps on the 12 v rail (s). You want at least 30 amps on a combined 12v rail (with everything else). State your budget and we can help you find a suitable power supply. Also state your country (to determine website).

Thanks once again.


Absolutely no need for that - fox is correct, a quality 550w
unit is plenty, no harm in going a little more than that, but
it isn't necessary.

Quality brands: Seasonic, XFX, PC p&cooling, Antec, most Corsair's, Enermax
and a few others. And you could do very well at the lower end of your
budget amount.

You got yourself some excellent recommendations provided by toyftw and looniam, too bad I wasn't in time to give one myself....damn skyrim eating up all my time :lol: 

Anyways keep below 650 watts, 650 is pretty much the tops for a single high end GPU (as far as I know), when you go over 650 you start to satisfy the needs of crossfired cards and overclocked systems.
