Corsair 750TX vs 650TX

[eryx24]

Title says it all, which one would you choose, the graphic card I'm getting is either 4870 1gb or GTX 260 216 core. Nothing toooo crazy.

depends on the Price. If the 650 is cheaper by a good deal, that is what I would get

I would get a nice 500w for those cards. Maybe 600 if I wanted to plan on SLI/xfire

Corsair VX550 for $62 after $20 rebate. This would run it and leave room to add more

Well... sure. I know of folks who run GTX 260's with 400w PSU's..

What's the rest of your system?

Overclocked i7 rigs with GTX295 pull in the area of 450w usually. 550w is plenty

Might change a few things here and there but nothing too major, like if I change the graphic card it'll be on par with the 4870.
