Hi my psu has broken?

What one should I get?

I have a phenom 955 and a 7970 prob gonna want to do crossfire in the future. So I think I would need 900-1000w

I want to spend about £100-120 or $160-190.

A good 750-850 WATT PSU will power two HD 7970 with ease.

• Antec High Current Gamer Pro 850W
• Corsair HX 750W GOLD
• BeQuiet! Dark Pro 10 750W

You don't need anything more than 750W to run a HD 7970 or GTX 680 in crossfire/sli as long as its a proficient PSU Silver/Gold rated from well known manufacturers.

With a heavily overclocked CPU and two HD 7970 your looking at 550-600W power draw, a 750w PSU is more than enough. If you are unsure and gulible to all the nay sayers that no little about hardware I have also recommended a 850w PSU from antec.

You can't go wrong with anyone of those PSU's.

any 750 80+ psu will do

Corsair TX850 does fine for my 2500k and 7970 CrossfireX setup.

Thanks

It was a coolermaster 800w 80plus gold that has broken I hope I can get my moneyback it still has that sticker on it.

I'm using a older corsair 750w one but it makes a really high pitched annoying noise. So I thought i'd replace it.

I wouldn't want to use 750W with two 7970s if you overclock them, though.

Above is a 2600k overclocked to 4.8Ghz along with two overclocked GTX 680's and not once did it exceed 550W. A efficient 750W silver or gold rated PSU is all you need for either GPU setups.

Gold rated 90% efficient PSU at 750W... 675W. 2600k 4.8GHz SLI/Crossfire GTX 680/HD 7970 getting close to 600W. A silver/gold rated PSU at 750W is MORE than enough.

You not feeling "safe" isn't the concern of any reviewer that has reviewed SLI/Crossfire setups or reviewed 750W silver and gold rated PSUs in the last 2 years.

I got a AX750W. That thing laughs at my setup. clyde46

I've got an AX750w Gold aswell and it doesn't even blink running my GTX 590, and that thing needs more power than my fridge/freezer in the middle of summer ;)
