Thanks

750W.

Seasonic, Corsair, Antec.... Heard good things about XFX as well.

Lots of room to work with.

 

[badatgames18]

i would just go for an overkill so i wouldn't need to worry about getting a new psu if i wanted to add something...

an corsair hx 1000w or a seasonic 1000w

You can be fine with 550 but 650 is safe. Heck you can get away with 450...

Edit: I thought it said 580. 550w min for 590. I love Antec but Corsair, XFX, and Seasonic are good brands.

 

[pangolinman]

Would 1000 watts support 2 590s in SLI?

 

[Fullmetalaj0]

I think a GOOD 1000 watt would be ok

 

[Dirtyworks]

I'm pretty sure even a good 850watt would be ok with 2x GTX580's

As for the OP, a Corsair HX750 and forget about it.

EDIT: I too thought it said GTX580

That's more than enough.

 

[frycicle]

850w and Corsair.

 

[pangolinman]

Will it also support a good overclock on the 2600k?
Would it be safer to go for a 1200 watt?
Though 2 590s in SLI are stupidly overkill. Id probably just go for one.
How does this one look?

Yep that corsairs good. go with a 1000w for overclocking though.

I don't think Seasonic makes 1000W PSUs lol.

850W Max IIRC.

To the OP, the answer is very simple really:

1) If you plan to SLI: 1000W+
2) If not: anything over 750W.

Brands: Seasonic, Corsair, Antec and XFX.

A good 650w is fine for one GTX 590, and a good 900-1000w is fine for two.

 

[pangolinman]

Do you guys know when the price of the GTX 590 classified will drop down to the $729.99 MSRP on the EVGA site?

 

[pangolinman]

And +1 rep to most of you

 

[snoball]

A 650 is right on for that.

 

[letsgetiton]

If your worried about price go for this Seasonic OEM model. It's not pretty but it's the best. $130

[pangolinman]

I think im going to go corsair for the Modular design.
Thanks a lot

Its like $850 on amazon now, which seems ridiculous.

 

[Phaedrus2129]

I'd skip the 590, personally. I always recommend a quality power supply. Nvidia skimped on their own power supplies (the VRMs on the GTX590s). Not much point investing in a quality system PSU if the manufacturer of your components won't do the same. Heck, by Nvidia's reasoning you could run that system on a Leadman LP-8867, if you used drivers to throttle your components before they went over 200W.
