thanks dude

Corsair AX750/AX850 is adequate.

 

[akshayt]

Corsair AX850 costs like 10k or so. For a lil less you can get CM 800 gold or Corsair HX850!

@The Sorcerer U mean TX750 - 7K or AX750 - 9.8K

^AX. AX is one of the best and so is Seasonic X.

 

[akshayt]

AX is the best only if you compare to HX's 750 watts model. If you need to compete with a HX 850, then you will need AX 850 which will be better but not AX 750.

AX series are good, but here is OPs case ???
I think he should stick with Seasonic S12D 850....

Corsair AX750 - 9.8K
SeaSonic 760w SS-760KM - 8.5K

Both are 80+ Gold....

AFAIK all Seasonic PSUs carry 3 years warranty while Corsair AX series carry 7 years warranty and hence the price difference.

Seasonic PSU - 5yrs warranty
Corsair AX series - 7yrs warranty

yeah the second one you mentioned is seasonic X 760 SS-760KM.
if op can get this it will be great. fully modular psu and gold certified.

but if 570 sli and overclocking then imo better be safe with Seasonic S12D 850

Like I said not SLI'ing right now. But may in future, of course all depending on condition of wallet. But wanna go future proof. Thanks for all your suggestions. Two more queries come to mind:

i) Does modular really matter?
ii) While choosing PSU does the gold, silver etc rating matter more or the wattage?

And while I'm at it another bonus question comes to mind albeit off topic (for which I hope I'll be excused, I just don't wanna waste good cyberspace by opening another thread)

iii) Is Ripjaws X available in India? If so where? and is it better than ordinary Ripjaws?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

1)better cable management with modular.
2)best balance

ripjaws X at smc -
Gskill Sandy Bridge 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3 4GB X 2
G-Skill[ Ripjaws-X ] F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
(the second one is CL8)

they also had the 4gb one but now not listed on their site. you may call them

yes even ordinary ripjaws will do

 

[slashragnarok]

Now this is really going off topic.

i) Is more than 4gb really necessary for gaming?
ii)How do I buy ram? In one stick or as many sticks as my mobo supports?
