Does Corsair HX 650 Watt PSU 80 + Gold are Good?

Thread Starter 
hello everyone

I have a plan to build a new system for myself, so far I have a Processor, Graphics Card, etc, except Power Supplies

and my vote goes to that one, my question is, does Corsair 650 watt HX PSU Gold is good enough to power my system? who is better between HX 650 Watt and Seasonic X660?

oh ya, I am not from US, and Europe, so I can't order from newegg, amazon, etc.

thanks for help, any input would be much appreciated.

They're good but usually overpriced, overall a little worse than Seasonic X Series. The new HX650 is Seasonic as well, just on a little bit lower-end design, without full modular cables, with a worse fan, with only two PCIe power connectors (instead of four).

If you have "..., Graphics Card..." meaning a single graphics card, 650W is far more than you need, unless you are heavily overclocking a system with a flagship dual-GPU graphics card.

HX 650 will be perfectly fine but if you want a fully modular PSU then get the Seasonic X660 or Corsair AX 650.

even I overclocked my CPU and my GPU? i.e CPU = 4.7 Ghz, and my GPU = 1.2 - 1.3 Ghz? btw thanks for your input, I will consider, Seasonic, too

You could run two gtx 670s overclocked on the HX650 or X660 or any quality 650w unit.

thanks for the response,
hmmm, I want to know, how much the power consumption will my system reach, If I overclocked my CPU and GPU like I listed above?

I'm going to guess your system will use at most 400w max with the clocks meantioned.
