Which graphics card you're planning to purchase in future??Will suggest psu based on your upcoming gfx card/model no./price point.;-)

Yes please post the exact model of the card that you will be buying. Its really hard to recommend without seeing the full config.

Considering you will get something like the Raedeon 6770 Hd get the Fsp Saga II 500w @2k

for cabinet get NZXT Gamma @2.5k

If you are going to get a low end to mid range card (like 6670, 6750), FSP Saga II 500w will suffice, it is priced around 2k
If you will be a getting a good card (like 6850), Corsair GS 600 for around 4k would be a good choice.

From what you say, I don't think you will be needing more than that

Yeah but I would say go with GS600 to be on a safer side as you wont be reqquiring to change it for a long time as it can pretty much take care of any CPU with OC + Single GFX

1. FSP Saga II 500W @2k <- for gpu upto 67xx/57xx series(basic psu, can handle rig easily)
2. Corsair VX450 450W @3.5k <-OC comfortably with a 6850 (dont go by the 450W, this baby can reliably give upto 550W, at over 80% efficiency.)
3. Corsair GS600 <-for a card like 6870/6950 (get this if you are getting a high end gpu)

from my past experience I would suggest to but Corsair TX750 V2 because it will provide enough power to almost all your upgrades....

I'd say a cx430v2 or the fsp sagaII 500w can easily handle the HD6850 also.

Look at this basic value gaming config, it has an Antec Greenearth 430W PSU, now agreed that its better(maybe) but still if it can easily power a 6870(ppl even have safely run a 6950 on it) Im sure that the corsair/fsp will manage upto 6850 well.

oh wow, a nuke for killing an ant, just NO.
i'd not recommend that psu.

The PSH units (VX550/TX750/TX850) are also solidly mid-range. The 750W and 850W are at the maximum of what the PSH platform can provide, and so their performance is less than stellar, especially when it comes to +12V ripple. The VX550 is outclassed by cheaper power supplies, and the TX750 and TX850 aren't usually good bang/buck either, though they are fairly reliable.

The PSH-II platform is a modification of PSH to decrease the cost of manufacture and materials. Performance is usually slightly improved and build quality is similar, although a few small corners were cut.

well, but you have to assume some safety margin, no? i'd say a margin of 50-70W is enough in most cases, unless you add a lot of components and overclock and have tons of fans.

cx series is fine. saga ii is just about ok, vx450 has plenty of room for oc and new components, and gs600 is for complete future proofing.
imho, if you need something bigger than a gs600 in a rig less than 70k, you are doing it wrong.

even after overclocking to a huge extent the power consumption of phenomII 955be and 6870 is 317W
Power Consumption And Temperatures : System Builder Marathon, Sept. 2011: $500 Gaming PC

Honestly for OP's config a cx430 v2 is enough


most *high end single GPU systems will only need a 500-550w unit.
High End qualifies as: Core i7 920 @ 4.4Ghz, GTX 580 with high air overclocks, 2 HDD, 1 SSD, 1 ODD, 5 x 120mm fans.
There's no need to over buy in the PSU category as half the time you'll be wasting away that nice 80+ Badge by running a unit below 20% load at idle.

furmark will use close to the limit of the power supply.
always better to have a buffer.

i've not yet read a proper cx430 review, but from what i gather, it will be ok for the task.

also, most psu's give the maximum efficiency near the 80% load mark. so that is another reason to buy a slightly better psu than you need.

also, during gaming/load that nice 80+ badge will be your saviour ;)

also, the better materials and techniques used in the high end psu's will ensure a longer life of your unit.

and some cheap supplies like cooler master extreme power dont have overload protection, so if you draw more power than the unit can supply, it will result in permanent damage to the entire system.

I dont doubt what you say. :)
But surely the corsair has overvoltage protection and OP's PC power consumption will still be little less than 80% load of corsair 430W. :))
