My Cooler Master GX 650W PSU died recently. My system consists of an core i7-920 CPU and a ATi HD5770 GPU. I'm thinking if my previous PSU was actually suitable for my system. Any recommendations of what kind of PSU I should be getting this time around?

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Aug 13 2011, 03:02 PM) A 450W power supply would suffice. The Cooler Master GX Series power supplies are not recommended due to quality issues, so do remember to avoid them. Thanks, I will consider the 600W PSU. Is the Xigmatek NRP-PC602 (600W) 80 PLUS Bronze a good choice?Suggestions : Low-Budget : FSP Hexa 500W - RM159 Moderate-Budget : Silverstone Strider Essential 500W - RM219 Big-budget : Corsair GS 600 ( 600W ) power supply - RM299 If you decide to go with the 600W power supply, it should be able to support more PC components that are coming out in the near future compared to the two power supplies of lower capacity.  |

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Aug 13 2011, 03:09 PM) That's an alternative Gee thanks a lot! I'm sourcing for the best price for Corsair 600GS now. Appreciate your help. . The GS 600 is recommended over the Xigmatek 600W Bronze power supply though, as it has a stronger 12V rail ( 576W versus Xigmatek's 504W ) |

Can anyone give me an opinion about these two PSUs as compared to Corsair's?

QUOTE(TechnoG @ Aug 26 2011, 03:18 PM) ^ The Corsair GS600. I currently have a dead Cooler Master GX 650W, which I was told was more than enough. But that piece has died on me twice, and I think I should be looking for an alternative. My budget is somewhere around RM300 max. The GPU I'm using is the HD5770.Which Corsair PSU are you referring? if is AX then answer is obvious  what is your budget? and mind stating the GPU you are using?
