Thanks a bunch.

I think I'll get a Corsair GS 700W based on ur recommendation.  smile.gif

EDIT:
Is Silverstone Strider Essential 700W good?
*
There doesn't seem to be any review on the Strider Essential 700W, but considering that Silverstone is pretty well known for power supplies which are good / excellent in quality, I don't see any reason to not get it other than price factor.

If it's a good 600W power supply then it should support two GTX560s. smile.gif

The efficiency rating doesn't affect the PSU's ability to supply power,even if it doesn't even have 80plus certification but it can supply enough power the PSU can be used.As efficiency goes higher,power wasted as heat goes lower,that's all.

Anyway,if the PSU in question can supply 500W or more on the 12V rail(s) then it's going to be fine.

For SEASONIC PSU, let me inform you guys that the current distributor has drop distribution-ship for this brand, so refrain yourself from looking for SEASONIC PSU especially the X-Series. I manage to get supply for ENERMAX PSU with good price/performance ratio for the time being. ENERMAX is among the best PSU brand and plenty of reviews to convince you of it's quality & reliability thumbup.gif

A GTX570 requires a minimum of 38A 12V and a 600W PSU goes beyond 38A so you don't have to worry

Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

The Enermax NAXN 80+ 600 W is a power supply targeted to the average user. For this kind of user, it provides a very good value, with high efficiency ranging from 83.1% to 86.6% if you pull between 120 W and 480 W (dropping to 80.2% at 600 W), very low noise and ripple levels, and very good cable configuration (not many 600 W units provide seven SATA power connectors). Voltage regulation, although not “flawless,” is acceptable, especially for the market share this unit is targeted at.

For Single GTX570, undoubtedly a 600W 80Plus can handle it with ease smile.gif

For more info, perhaps you can contact the distributor. I also don't have much detail regarding their decision to drop this brand. Below is the link smile.gif

Best price/performance currently based on the availability in our market would be ENERMAX NAXN 750W @ price-tag below RM400

You can take out Seasonic brand from your consideration as per mention earlier smile.gif

Only those manufacturer labs got this kind of testing equipment. Best to change your PSU as CM Extreme Power is not true power PSU. And what GPU you are using? smile.gif

Should be ok to support HD5670 for your current PSU unless it really got problem

If HD5850, you need a decent 550W-600W PSU if budget allow smile.gif
