ir_cow Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Why buy an 800+ watt PSU for a single GPU setup? thats what I said, Im just going off of what the op listed. I think a decent 750w would do just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I think a good 500w would be more than enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 600w is the recommended minimum for a GTX 780 from NVIDIA. The Corsair HX800 is an awesome PSU for the money. Even the gaming series 800watt PSU from Corsair does well. My daily driver had its PSU take a dump after 6 years of 24/7 F@H abuse and I picked up the 800w Gaming series PSU from Corsair and it has been rock solid running my Core i7 920 @3.6, 12GB of memory at 2000Mhz and two GTX 580's at full load 24/7 with nary a concern.

d6bmg Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Why buy an 800+ watt PSU for a single GPU setup? For future-proofing I suppose? In case OP wants to for for dual card setup or heavy overclocking, extra headroom might be helpful. Having said that I would say, at max a good 750Watt SU will suffice for all kind of future ugradation. Everything is becoming so power efficient that the need of higher powered PSU is becoming smaller & smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiki007 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I'm pretty sure can enter in Corsair C70 case, or obsidian 650d. Edited June 26, 2013 by Smiki007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Corsair C70 is a nice case and sometimes you can find them at the right price if you catch them on sale. Personally I wouldn't move from IVY to Haswell (or even SB to Haswell for that matter), but to each their own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiki007 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Agree, SB over IB and Has (those two too much heat), combined with ASUS M4E. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
