Hi

Need recommendations for power supply to go along with Powercolor Radeon 7870 2 Gb Tahiti LE

Olde Power supply is
Cooler Master Extreme 500 W


My Current Rig is

Intel i5 3570 K
Asrock Extreme 4
8GB Extreme Low Voltage Samsung RAM
Powercolor Radeon 7870 2 Gb Tahiti LE
120gb Kingston HyperX SSD
2 TB Seagate SATA 3
1 TB Seagate SATA2
NZXT Gamma

Apparantely 7870 Powercolor has 2 PCI-E 6 pin connectors and current power supply has one

Budget is upto 6-7 K
 
whats difference between TX , GX and CX version of corsair cpu ?
what about Seasonic II 620W

Also Please note its Tahiti LE 7870 closer to 7950 .. will require around 200 W of power and more if overclocked

Personally, I have found Seasonic to be the best & their X-Series (Gold certified + Fully Modular) as the most stable, consistent and robust PSU. Note that their modular psu's are a lot more expensive SeaSonic X660 (SS-660KM) 660W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91, 80Plus Gold Certified, Active PFC Power Supply for 8300/-

The fully modular ones come with all cables separate - so you can use/connect only those that you need (and keep the rest for future expansions) - Gold certified (which is 90% efficiency vs Bronze - 80%).

You can make your choice between Corsair TX650 or Seasonic S12II-620 - Both will serve you well (even if you OC your GPU)
