Building a new system and I need some advice.


The system will be as follows:

Intel i7-3930K

MSI X79A-GD45

XFX Radeon 6950 2GB

Antec P280

Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB

Corsair Force 3 240GB

Corsair Vengeance 16GB


I have a bunch of Future Shop gift cards I plan on using for this particular purchase so I was limited in selection for the power supply. I was thinking of these 2:


Cooler Master Silent Pro 850 http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/cooler-master-cooler-master-silent-pro-850-watt-power-suppy-rs850-ambaj3-us-rs850-ambaj3-us/10162301.aspx?path=6cb352fcf58a7faea8a98e1220a6c9b2en02


or


Corsair TX850 V2 http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/corsair-corsair-850w-pc-power-supply-cmpsu-850txv2-cmpsu-850txv2/10190735.aspx?path=861f1bb21d4b39d4768978ce4e19d5fben02


I like the fact the Cooler Master is silent and modular but I have never used one of their power supplies. I've had nothing but success with Corsair and I currently have the first gen TX750 in my system, The only drawback is that it's not modular and I would assume a little louder. The HX is another $50 I would not want to spend. Silence on this build will be a bit more of a priority but I would not compromise on quality to do so.


Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated!

The Corsair got a very good review from JonnyGuru.


That said, it seems that even with that video card you've got a couple hundred watts more than you need.


I assume this is a gaming machine?

Silent Pro M850: FSP

TX850 V2: Seasonic

 

The quality of Seasonic is guaranteed. FSP? Well, this particular model looks not bad. JonnyGuru review of Silent Pro M1000 .

Thanks for the advice guys! I think I will stick with the guarantee.

1000w is way overkill IMO. With that setup, even adding more HDDs, an optical drive and a few peripherals your looking at around 600w max.

850-1000w is way too big.

I see the issue. These are the choices: http://www.futureshop.ca/Search/SearchResults.aspx?path=ca77b9b4beca91fe414314b86bb581f8en20&q=%252a&sp=FS_en-CA_Product_Collection_Site-WideSP&Facet=cFSMCCPCatalogenCAPresentationHierarchy1%2523%2523-1%2523%2523-1%257e%257eq2a%257e%257ecFSMCCPCatalogenCA10482%2523%25230%2523%25231q%257e%257ef29%257c%257c%252a&viewall=true&targetCategory=10482

Pretty limited list.


Off that list, personally I'd take the Corsair TX650 V2.
