850W is enough for handling 2xGTX480 already. drool.gif
When SLI-ed, throw away your 8800GT, GTX480 is already powerful.

however, based on Nvidia recommended 750watts on GTX460 SLI

Meh, GTX460 SLi can be handled by true power 600W, just fine.

Cause I just upgraded my rig's PSU on Feb this year as the old psu died. And budget constrain wise, only option is either, get the card or just live with the current one.

Get HD5670 then. hmm.gif

Wait, why you stay at such low power PSU.
They won't be sufficient when power hungry graphic card is used.
Get at least 450w.

Does PSU dies alot ? or very seldom ? I usually on my computer 24/7 for ahem.

Both PSU are fine.
PSU won't die so easily, unless you stress it.
Example, using GTX480 on 500W PSU.
When using, the PSU will be stressed all the time.
For sure, just like a people, working for all the time, end up, die.

For Casing, v4 has better cable management and design.

GeForce GTX 560 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

Cooler Master is not reputable PSU maker (They even not maker, they rebrand only).
They got lot's of failed models, in fact. wink.gif

Reputable PSU makers are FPS, SeaSonic, SevenTeam, etc.

What's you pc's spec? smile.gif

That is EPS power connector.
Yes, Hexa has it.

Btw, it has 2 pcs 6-pin PCI-E connectors right? Not 8-pin + 6-pin?

It has 1x8pin+1x6pin. I got a real unit here, LOL.

Thanks for the advices. I have one more option, Gigabyte Odin GT 550W @ RM169. I am going to use it in a m-ATX casing so a modular PSU would help, but is this PSU any better than the ones I have mention?

Btw, I don't mind taking a non-modular ones if the quality of the PSU differs greatly and would affect the lifespan of my rig.

Added on May 3, 2011, 6:10 pmBtw, is there any other PSU that I missed out that would perform better than the ones I listed?

It is out of stock at Jayacom already. tongue.gif
