Is this PSU calc correct? - Page 2

I might buy a 650W from Corsair because I might add in a second GPU in the future.
My budget for the PSU is around 100$

650W would be overkill for two 7850's and the parts you listed. You need more like 500W of which I'd recommend an Antec EarthWatts EA-500D Green. It's on sale for $55 shipped. That's nearly half of your budget saved. thumb.gif

It's a good suggestion but he's in EU atleast based on some other posts he has made in other threads.

Grab the HCG-520. It's priced pretty well there.

Ah I missed it if you were looking at modular only, Yes it's a very good PSU, Seasonic S12II internally.

While you don't NEED that much power.... I would agree that a 650w PSU is a great sweet spot if you really do want to future proof yourself. They're usually relatively inexpensive for good ones, even modular. Look around for Corsair TX, AX, HX line, Rosewill HIVE or Capstones (or Green), Antec Earthwatts Platinum (or Green), or the Seasonic modular line (any). I can't think of anything else to mention in your budget range, but a 650w modular unit should be more than doable. If not, grab a good 550-560w modular instead. It'll still provide enough for even 7850 crossfire with a 3570k.
