PSU Corsair TX 650W vs. Antec True Power 650W

I'm planning on building a new PC in the winter for Battlefield 3. I'll be getting the i5 2500k and overclocking it, and was thinking of getting a GTX 580.

Which one of these power supplies (or any other recommendations for around £60-£70) would you choose out of the Corsair TX 650W or the Antec TP?

Cheers.

 

I've always used Corsair & XFX (both manufactured by Seasonic = quality), never had issues and always been very impressed so I'd recommend the TX on that basis.

 

I have the Antec in my rig and it seems to be nicely quiet and solid (though I've heard of people having issues with odd noises from them). I haven't looked at the TX range myself, but I believe people have mentioned that it's a couple of their other ranges where they really shine.

 

yeah both of them seem to be neck and neck in terms of reviews and opinions....

 

The Antec TP new 650 also has mostly Seasonic parts/design. Very happy with mine.

 

I have a Antec TruePower 650W
Happy with mine too!..... plus Antec is partially modular whilst TX650 isn't

 

All the non-modular plugs on the Antec are pretty much essential anyway.

 

If you are lookong at a 580 then wont you need more watts than 650?

 

I thought 650W was pretty spot on to be honest for that spec machine?

 

I have the Antec and it is a very nice and capable PSU. And while it was designed by Antec it was made by Seasonic.

 

Only if he wanted to put a second one in. 650W will be plenty for one.

 

If I wanted to go SLI in the future what sort of psu should I be thinking about getting?

 

That HX-650 would serve you very very well for any SLI rig bar SLI'ed GTX570s and up.

An HX-750 should do the trick.

 

Interesting
