Well I know that the 4870 needs 2 6-pins connector and for the CF I need 4 6-pins.
And according to Ati website the CF of 4870 also need a 600W PSU.

Now, from what I understood here and there from reading around is that this number isn't correct due to the reason that ATI wants to "cover their behinds".

I heard people here in Israel telling me I should get a 550W and that's should be perfect but I still thought that if ATI says atleast 600 y won't get a 700 ?

So I've come to this list and this is where I need your help guys (and girls).

I really don't know which of those 80plus PSU I should get, plz write me about personal expirience with any of those or others you think might do the job well enough smile.gif

1) SeaSonic M12 700W (Personaly my prefed, though it's the most expensive in the 700 class)

2) OCZ GameXtreme 700W (Never heard about it but it looks nicely)

3) Corsair TX750 (Got good recommandation on it, hope I will get the same here)

4) PCP&Cooling Silencer 750W (The most expensive on the list, would consider only if more then two good personal reviews about it will be posted.

5) Thermaltake ToughPower 850W (I hope I won't have to go on TT and especially pass the 750 barriar)

That's it for now.

Thank you everyone who will participate smile.gif

May you have the best week ever smile.gif

Can you list the prices for each of those options?

Also, the GameXStream only has 2 native PCIe connectors, so you would have to use converters for the other two (not ideal).

I woud probably pick either the Corsair or the PCP&Cooling option. I have 2 Corsair PSU's which I choose because they are silent and have 5 year warranties. Both have been very reliable so far, but I don't push them at all and my systems are not overclocked, so cannot comment about that side?
