Hi,

I want to know the total amount of power needed from the following PSU's to run this :Intel Core i5 3570k -13900, MSI Z77 MPower, Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X Edition, OCZ Vertex4 240GB, Western Digital 1TB Black HDD, Corsair 300R, Corsair H60 Cooler,
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz, Asus DRW-24B5ST DVD-RW, Cooler master BC 120mm RED LED Fans 4Pcs.

a) Seasonic X560
b) Seasonic X660
c) Corsair AX650
d) Corsair AX750


I can't find any Corsair AX650 anywhere locally or online but the the other 3 are readily available.

How about Corsair TX650V2 or HX650 or even HX750?
For your rig, a good 500Watt PSU will suffice.
If you are short on budget get a descent 600Watt PSU like GS600.

Of the PSUs you have listed, I would vote for X560, AX650. (overkill)

do you NEED modular psu?

your components require roughly 600W at max load.

===redacted===

suggest you look at CM silent/silent pro series or seasonic.

also, i advise you to stay away from corsair AX series, they are not upto the regular corsair quality.

Really? ;)
Explain please, why AX series seems to a bad choice, according to you. (unless it is typo)

this is weird

im pretty ****ing sure there was an article which gave low marks to the AX1200 on hardware secrets.
now, i cannot find any article related to ax1200

anyhow, due to lack of sources, i will redact my statement.

a few people had "problem" as the unit was not made by seasonic but by flextronics..but the unit delivered as expected.

^^ I thought all the AX1200's are made by flextronics and AX850's by Seasonic...

btw guys.... OP has not replied to any of suggestions yet.

@OP - Please confirm you budget.
