Would you recommend this psu over a Corsair Hx1000i?

Hey Josh, I can't comment on the 1000 of each PSU. My decision is this. My choice was between the Corsair 1200i and the EVGA 1200 P2. I choose the EVGA for a couple of reasons. First off, the 10 year warranty, and almost a hundred dollar difference. Both of these are very good psu's. You can't do wrong with either. However I personally don't care for the (i) interface. To me however, 1200 watts is not an overkill. Simply because my rig is build for the long future (4k). And knowing that my psu has a 10 year warranty. No brainer. Like I said, you can't go wrong with either. However look at the warranty, future, and price. GAME ON, my friend Hey Josh, I can't comment on the 1000 of each PSU. My decision is this.

I agree with the Benjamin, Either is a good PSU, I went with the evga since all my GPU's and past experience has been good. Customer service has been good to me anytime I called... Good Luck buddy!

Not at all. This PSU has been nothing but silent. The fan barely even runs, since it's so efficient. I promise you, you can't go wrong with this one, or the AX1200

1100 should be enough power but that supply doesnt have the best reputation,seriously, if youre going to be using twin 780's you dont want to skimp on the PSU.

You need around 700W for your setup, so 750W from this unit should be more than enough... keep the brand in mind though, going Corsair is a safe bet because they advertise the power the unit can handle continuosly, and not the peak wattage it can reach, this is a great PSU for your setup... :)

Refer to the Corsair website. They list this information for each model power supply under Tech Specs.

That should be adequate provided the PSU is of reputable quality, though you may run into trouble with an older OEM unit due to lack of current on the +12V rail.

Alice it will work for your needs. I do have a similar configuration were I have an H100i, AX800i plugged into to a single Asus Impact Mini-ITX motherboard that only has one USB connection port. This gave me all the extra usb ports I needed to expanded my Corsair configuration. Looking at the picture the end plug plugs into your mother board USB connection there is an included extension cable) this will give you enough slack to put the NZXT anywhere in your case. You will also need to plug in power off the power connector. All your connectors are included in the kit.

Yes, you will definitely be able to complete any system build with this power supply. I have had very good luck with it and all Corsair products throughout the many builds I have done.

i just bought a 500w corsair . it works flawless. also have a R9 270x on the same rig http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415836474&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+builder

I am using a Corsair CX 750M power supply on it and it works great! I am NOT overclocking though.

I would like to turn you away from this PSU; I ran two GTX cards in SLI and this power supply didn't hold up too well. I recommend NOT getting this power supply for crossfire. It's not power efficient, it doesn't have the best stable voltage, and lastly 600 watts is a little low for multiple GPUs. Also when I was doing SLI on this I swear it almost overheated and cooked to death. You should get a bronze-rated Corsair like the CX750 instead. I upgraded from this PSU to the HX750, at the time I bought it, it was around $120. Best power supply I think money can buy that isn't overkill. Gold rated, modular, and the fan doesn't run at all on idle use. That's another thing, I had noise issues with this PSU. Do yourself a favor, get a good power supply and avoid this. I don't want to call it junk, it was pretty decent, but honestly I wish I went with something better to begin with. I think Corsair is the best name for PSUs. Either them or Cooler Master also has some nice models.

Provided there is an open pci slot on the pc (which you can find out by opening it up) and the psu is putting out 400 - 500 watts you should be fine. Upgrading stock PC's can be tricky though, I wouldn't recommend it personally, hard to get it to the standard you want.

Yes, the CPU really has nothing to do much with buying a PSU. The main thing you need to check more so than your CPU is your motherboard, if it requires a 24 pin + 4 pin connectors or a 24 + 8 pin connectors. Either configuration should work with this PSU. If I could recommend another PSU to you, I think you should go for a Corsair CX model such as the CX600. I've owned this particular Thermaltake PSU in the past and it had a brain rattling, extremely annoying noisy fan. It also overheated on me a couple times. Don't go budget on your PSU.

Also go for a higher end PSU i use a Corsair AX850 thats 850 watts and its a nice single 12v rail for better power stability. Its modular so only use the cables you need for better cable management. Its a bit more expensive but rated 80 plus gold and well worth it. Enjoy

Depends on the PSU brand. Dont buy cheap. I have a Rosewill Xtreme Series 750W 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply RX750-S-B that cant push it.

You wont hear it unless you put your ear right next to it, but I wouldn't recommend this PSU. Get a corsair its worth the extra money, this PSU failed on me at 450watts

I would really recommend you go w/ an Antec (they're extremely reliable, trust me). I checked out the specs for your hp elite, that's a nice machine, I wouldn't risk it for this Corsair. I bought this psu and it sizzled out w/in the first six weeks. I replaced it w/ an Antec 900w from here on amazon, and have had amazing performance and lower electric bills. Plus, if I ever need to upgrade, I'll have plenty of power to do so. > Antec High Current Gamer HCG-900, 80 PLUS BRONZE, 900 Watt Power Supply (it's on sale now for 117.00, which is a killer deal considering that I paid close to $200 for mine).
