Which PSU is the best for me?

[Carbon Dioxide]

Hi!

I would like to change my Cooler Master GX650W (E3) power supply, but I don't know what's the best for me. I have got ~ 150€/190$. And I would like to use in my future Haswell config.

My configuration:
CPU: i5 2500K
MTB: Asus Sabertooth P67
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB) 1333MHz CL7 KIT
VGA: Asus HD6970

I watched these:
- BQ Dark Power Pro10 650W (or 750W)
- Corsair AX750W
- Enermax Revolution 87+ 750W
- Fsp Aurum Pro 850W
- Seasonic X Series 750

What suggest to me?

Thank you very much!

Hi - Of those you listed, I would go with the Seasonic or the Corsair AX.

You do know that to run a sys with an hd6970 a quality 550w unit is
more than sufficient, right? No harm in a 750w, except you will
spend a lot more € than you need to.

I suggest you look at 550w & 650w units unless you are definitely
going to CF down the road. You already know the good brands.

Yes, i know that. But the i would like to buy a really good psu; i don't want to save money on this.
Ohh...and i don't want to make CF/SLi config.

Which one would you choose? Seasonic or Corsair? Which has better internal?

Hi - I was suggesting saving money because of excess watts/amps, not quality.

It is highly unlikely your system will ever use more than 350 watts during use.

In any event, if you want to get a 750, there is no harm other than cost. I did
something similar myself, got a 650 when a 450(then, 500 now) would been enough.

So, as to which to get, well Seasonic mfg's both of those PSU's, the X-750
anf the AX 750. I'd go Seasonic, but you might want to go with Corsair where you
live because of their renowned customer service worldwide.

What is your opinion about the Corsair AX760i? Is there any difference between the AX760i and AX750?

What I understand is that you want a quality PSU for future proof your system.

Get a 80 plus bronze PSU of 600 to 750w from a good brand. You can find these at prices well under $150, alot under $100.
found a Corsair HX650 650w award winning professional series for $109 at Newegg.

Hi - The AXi series has a different oem, Flextronics as opposed to Seasonic
for the AX series. The 760 AXi has a good review from a trusted review site.

Thank you very much your help!
I think i will buy the Corsair AX760i. I pay a little more for a moderner psu, than an "older".

Last question: How much can i sell my CM GX650W power supply?
