So I'm building a new rig and it has been many years since I last did this. I'm looking at a 750w or 850w PSU. What is the difference between a gold and bronze PSU. My understanding is that gold PSU's are more stable? Here is what my rig looks like to give you a better idea.
i7 3770k
2x GTX 670 SLI
Asus p8Z77-v Duluxe
Samsung 256gig 840 pro series SSD
16gig (2x8gig) Corsair Vengence
At this point my budget is getting pretty thin I was going to go for a bronze PSU but I had a friend that really recommended the gold. Is this a good recommendations? Can i get away with a 750w and still have some room for overclocking/upgrades? Also, if there are any suggestions where I can cut the expenses back a little bit without losing performance, please let me know. My thought was maybe on the SSD drive? Get one that doesn't write as fast perhaps. That should effect my gaming performance, right?
Thanks everyone.
