SpOoKyWaTeR Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hey, I'm getting ready to buy a new psu and I was considering the corsaire HX850. How do I know if this psu will even fit? Should there be anything else that I should be worried about?

Papa John Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Product Dimensions: 7.1 x 7.1 x 3.4 inches Isn't rocket science, just measure your old one (or find out how big it is) , and then compare it to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 What's the case you have? If it's one of the weird OEM cases that manufacturers use then it might not fit but if you know the case... most cases will support standard ATX PSUs.

AnonyHorse Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 an 850 sounds like a bit big, especially considering you don't know what sizes psus are. No offense to you, you just haven't learned yet. Check out newegg.com for psus. id generally look for a 650. Should be enough to power most gaming oriented PCs without going overboard.

I'm getting a powerful psu so I have a ton of room for upgrades. I measured it anyways and it looks like it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyHorse Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If you really need power go for a 750. I still think a 650 would be more than enough but a 750 should hold you through especially if you go for sli with your 660s. If you do you may want to consider upgrading the cpu though.

I plan to upgrade my cpu last, I want to switch over to intel so I need to get a new mobo aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 750 should be more than enough to power an i7 and 2 660s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpOoKyWaTeR Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) 750 should be more than enough to power an i7 and 2 660s I think I've decided to go with the 750, the price dropped so it's like $30 cheaper than the 850 so I can have some spare cash to actually buy games for my computer.

AnonyHorse Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Could always put that $30 towards a cpu cooler as well. the hyper 212 evo is great and its about $30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
