Which PSU do i get?

looking for a psu , but not sure which to get.

rig is gonna be:

crosshair iv formula

phenom x6 1090t

hd 5850 (possibly 2)

is an 850w psu enough? or more?

Which one of these is best ? (open to suggestions)

Corsair

XFX

Cooler Master

Thanks :P

Any of those will do the job. They're all great PSUs.

I've got almost eactly the same specs as what your planning on getting minus the GPU's as im waiting on the 6k Radeons. I built this about two weeks ago went with XFX 750W Black Edidtion as the closest Corsair in price wasnt modular. That will be more the enough to run dual GPU's aslong as i dont go to crazy :)Timbury

I love you :) Thanks for the info, so i'll get the 850w xfx then (incase future GPU's are power hungry) :) Been hoping someone here has this set up, what case would you recommend, i'm gonna go for the haf 932 amd edition but i'm already over budget (£1300 is my total with everything :P), recommend a good case?

Also since you have the set up. Do i need to update the bio's on the crosshair? or can i just assemble start up and install win 7?

Haven't built a pc in ages so the new stuff is well....

new :)

edit: How much was your build ?

[QUOTE="emperorzhang66"]anyone think a non-modular psu would be better? It costs less :) since i haven't built pc in a while, does a modular psu come with the cabling to plug into it or do you have to buy that to?Daytona_178

Thats what i thought, so you sacrifice slight safety and and effeciency for better air flow which improves safety. Win/win. Apart from the modular being £40 more. But does it come with the cables or do i have to get them seperatly ?

[QUOTE="Daytona_178"] MOdular PSU's are great for cable management which makes the inside of your case look better and more importantly it improves airflow/cooling.Daytona_178

edit: will probs go with the coolmaster psu or the xfx :) unless you can tell me if i need a 4 pin cpu or 8 pin cpu connection :)

Yep just slot everything in turn it on install Windows and any drivers you got. Make sure to download up to date GPU drivers when your up and running. Takes a 8pin CPU connector on that board. Timbury

I have similar setup I have a case like that but the AMD edition and a amd955 and two 5850s. I am running with a 600watt modular PSU and no problems.AutoPilotOn
