I'm looking to upgrade from my 600W PSU, and I've read mixed review's about this PSU. I wanted to ask with respect is this a solid reliable PSU?

Nope. Cheap supplys like this will burn out under load. Spend a little more and get a bronze rated supply.

The power supply is a piece of junk. I have already done one RMA return because the sate connection melted. I received a new power supply and installed it and this the power wire melted and caught fire.

I used this PSU as a replacement for a failing 750W. I've had it about 6 months now running basically continuously the entire time, and it has been flawless so far. It is also was quite a bit more efficient than the last PSU. Mind you, it's not a Bronze 80 or better, but when my machine is running full tilt, it draws about 50 watts less than the other PSU did (I have a meter on my UPS).

You should be able to run it just fine with a 600W PSU. If you are going to upgrade in the future, say crossfire, then you should look into upgrading to a 750W or 800W PSU.

You should be fine with 750 W. And corsair's CS psu's are fine products. However, I would reconsider the CS series. Not really in line with the rest of the config. While your non overclocked setup will peak just above 600W, making 750 W an efficient PSU, a platinium PSU would be even more efficient, hence cooler and quieter; even save you a few bucks in the long run if you're an avid gamer. 600 W does leave its mark on the energy bill. Another choice : I like the RM series; not really that more expensive and go fanless outside of games. If you can find a way to quiet down your GPU fan (not on the quiet side, even idle) you'll be glad for the tiny price premium. Good gaming ! [EDIT]just to make sure : because of the graphics card, when picking your pSU, make sure each pci cable can handle 28A and the combined 12V rails 50A. This is the case here and should be for any 700W+ PSU. Better safe than sorry, so double check !

If it physically fits in and you have enough space for cables, then yes. With powerfull and reliable PSU you can forget about this part for years.I myself used a 700W PSU for 6 years with no trouble. At the same time I was constantly upgrading everything else.

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

Yes it does ... In fact it's probably just about the best PSU on the market whether you are just gaming or doing something critical like Bitcoin or Litecoin mining. I build custom Altcoin Miners and run many of my own. I have 27 Corsair PSU's currently in operation running dual video cards ... 24 hours a day ... and have never had a single failure or even a glitch from any of my Corsairs.Even under what most folks would consider a heavy load, they don't even break a sweat.

I recommend using something better than a 600 -.- keep in mind ur system needs power too, for the best I recommend 875w+

Considering how this psu failed in 6 months when i have been doing heavy duty gaming.. I think the answer is no. But if you were asking if this unit can supply enough wattage for your build, the answer is yes. UNLESS you are running SLI/Crossfire, in which case go for an 750 or 800W.

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.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.

Should be fine. I have this card and a 550 watt psu and haven't had any issues since I got the card a few months ago.

Personally, I like to have a little more than required so i would go with an 850W PSU, so to answer your question, yes this one will work fine. You could also use a 750W PSU as well though.

This PSU is no bigger than other PSUs I have used in my life. I even think it is standard size, so if you are using a regular PSU right now and want to replace it, you won't have any problem with this one.

Yes definitely, and if you don't trust me or anyone else here, go to pcpartpicker.com and put in all the parts to see the estimated wattage. This PSU has 80% bronze efficiency so you should leave around 150W just to be safe.

I have this unit and I love it. For me, it is quiet. But you need to look at the awesome warranty that comes with it. There were a few complaints reported on EVGA's forums regarding fan noise and the upper management said it was covered under that warranty. The PSU delivers both power and peace of mind with the warranty. It's a no brainer and Johnny Guru's review score of 9.7 out of 10 says the same.

If it works with your motherboard, I recommend it for its conservative ratings and stable outputs. See [H]ardOCP's PSU reviews on Seasonic. Good through testing there and Seasonic X series do very well.Powers my i7 to 4.5 GHz with 32 GB of RAM and two gtx 580 over clocked SLI cards all watercooled.
