I recently got my self a new 9800GTX+ and want to upgrade my PSU.
What should I go for among the following:-
1. Corsair 620W
2. Tagan BZ-700
3. CoolerMaster 650W
Please help me out in selecting one of these...
Guess we're a bit eccentric.for 9800 GTX+ even corsair vx450 W is enough if u have core2duo and extremely overclock it and overclock ur gfx card HD4870/GTX260 as well u will do great with a HX520 or Vx550 ..why do u want a monstorous PSU ..?? but its ur choice
i don't know why people from kolkata prefer 9800gtx+ over ati HD4850 .....but anyways i should keep my mouth shut over this topic ...
corsair HX620W is the best bet above the three as it can deliver upto 740W
Tagan BZ700W has maxmium o/p that can be achived is 700W which in practical u will not achieve ...since it run with >80% efficieny (about 85.11% approx) ..but corsair can give upto 88% of efficiency ...which is almost the best u can get ...hardly any PSU can go near that efficiency ...specially with higher wattages ...
CM is also good but efficiency curve is best for corsair out of the three ...
u can also consider corsair TX750 W CMPSU750TX available @ itwares for 7.1k ..

You Said it, HX may seem a bit costly but a VX should suffice his system.I have corsair PSU.
Buy it and you won't need any PSU for next 5-7 years. I mean it.
Silent and efficient.

Yeah, talk about Larabee with 32 cores(Even Nehalem with 8 cores)thats a long stretch of time ..u don't know how much power hungry CPU and processors are going to in 2 years .......so don't know how if much could be said about PSU ...

I ain't talking about vx series but HX or TX series is sufficient for next few years that you can expect.
I've bought TX750. It has so many cables unused.
IMHO TX750 can serve even cross-fired HD4870 with next-gen CPU easily.
It can serve 3xHD4870 with a C2Q 9550 .......4GB RAM and 2 HDDs.....dont under-estimate it.
does it produce a lot of noise ...because in reviews i saw that it produces a lot of noise ...?
and do u have a crossfire as far as i remember u have MSI P45 mobo right ..??
how is the mobo performing for ya ...??
