you dont bring a k processor why you not have interest in overclock ok good but now ,why you need a graphic card like the gtx 670 if you dont like to overclock and bring a card made for gaming? have good performance in gaming means oc the cpu for much better performance ,im only curious xd

I need a Graphics Card Like EVGA GTX670 FTW Coz its factory overclocked, it saves me the hustle. Tho don't get me wrong when the time is right i will over clock whichever part be it CPU or GPU (Most likely GPU) same way a did my GTX460 that i sold last month.

Second reason i need a GTX670 coz I'm a gamer.

I get your point about overclocking for better performance, but i just don't need the extra performance at the moment, current configuration suits my needs. I don't go after benchmarks rather i go for smooth game play so I'm contented will be contented with the GTX670 & My i7-3770 till some new architecture with some improved things appear.

[H] killed the old Seventeam version (RS-650-ACAA-E3). Newer Enhance version (RS-650-ACAA-D3) is better. But still not good enough to be used in a high-end computer like that.

Touche! I didn't realize they had done an update on it. But still agree a rig like that deserves a proper quality PSU.

I would buy: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 80 PLUS Bronze PSU or Corsair Enthusiast Series™ TX650M 80 PLUS® Bronze Certified PSU, but TX750 over the TX650M but not by much. Both have a strong 12v rail.

EDIT: If you plain to overclock then TX750, but if not then TX650M. :toast:

From that list I would choose the Seasonic, Hands Down. They are the "benchmark" for a good PSU IMO. Other makers such as Corsair use them to make their own brand PSU's You will never have a problem with a Seasonic.

I still have an old first gen M12 600W I ran this rig with for awhile, not a hiccup tho I'm sure I was pushing it pretty close to the limit.

Get Corsair TX650 V2 if you don't plan to add a second video card. If TX650 V2 is not available, TX650M will be ok. If you plan to add a second GTX 680, take 750-850W PSU, like Corsair TX750 V2. Seasonic M12II 750W is also very good, but Corsair TX V2 is better. It's based on Seasonic S12D, which is newer than S12II.

TX750 V2 is better overall. But if you don't plan to add a second GTX 680, take TX650 V2. It will be more than enough for your system.
