Check this review...

Rashi is not bad everywhere... In Chennai, they are gr8... Tkin knows it well..

My Exp. with Rashi-chennai,
Asus P5Q mobo died, they said there is a repaired mobo as replacement..
I spoke to the manager abt paying extra n getting Z68, they accepted w/o hesitation... So 85% of P5Q's cost considered n i have to pay xtra to get Z68.. :smile:

Damn ! I really like the XFX so i'll do this , i'll head over to Golchha find out who distributes it here in bangalore , cause i think theres a rashi here too . Anyway i'll find out all that and then make my decision . :)

But thanks a lot guys !

Ya, XFX Core Edition 650 is actually better than TX 650 V2. Also these XFX PSUs are on the list of officially recommended PSU list for nVidia high end cards.

650w isn't recommended for high end cards anyway(GTX570+).

^^ yeah a decent 750w is more safe to power CFX set up
but corsair HX 650w is truly amazing unless you OC pair of HD 6950 CFX

For 6950 CFX 750w is recommended, 650 can handle any single gpu config.

^^ yes, it can. In guru3d HD 6950 and HD 6970 review, the maximum power required for a single HD 6950 is 158W. So in CF it will be around 316W. It can provide 640W current to its 12V rail. So it can run a HD 6950CF easily. But for future upgrades I think a 700W is recommended.

In that case any good 700w - 750w , similarly priced to the tx650 , for firepro and 6950 xfire and keep in mind that i wont buy a heavy firepro , something average.

Corsair TX750 V2 is excellent psu for your needs.Its price at Rs 6.7k+vat.Don't know about other solution.
@Cilus-Will Corsair GS700 is enough to crossfire HD 6950?

But i hope 6950 CF is already a future upgrade...

Also guys should i really go for the Asus P8Z68 V pro or if i go for Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 what will i really be missing out on ? Cause i think the Asus is a bit overpriced , which is the MSI equivalent ? What would you really suggest ?

And the GS700 is pretty cheap i think , could i go for it ?

Quality wise GS700 < TX650 V2
