I bought the GS 600 made by Corsair, and I was very disappointed when it turned out to be quite loud with its fan. Can anyone recommend me a reliable and quiet power supply that provides at least 600w? I've been thinking of buying the NX-6000 R3 600w by Nexus, what do you guys think? Are nexus power supplies even reliable to begin with?

Hi, thanks for replying. My specs are currently i5 2500K @3.3GHz, OC'd radeon 7870, 8gb ddr3 1333MHz. I am sure that I will upgrade my computer in the near future, so yes the power is needed even though it would be temporarily extra. Any other suggestions? =)

Hello, thank you for the suggestion. However, like I said before, it needs to be able to provide at least 600w of power. I have problems with my graphics card overclock with a 550w power supply and I intend to upgrade my specs in the near future, so 600w is the minimum.

Well in that case these 2 Psu's should fit your bill as they say, just $10 dollars between them. I would go with the 750w for 10 dollars more. AJ.

7870 uses ~170w stock, OC it to hell and you might crest 250w.
CPU uses 73w, OC'd to hell maybe 140w. Grand total: 390w at worst with a lot of OCing. Add in 50w for Other Stuff, and a 450w is plenty.
That Seasonic X560w is far more than enough for that build. If you're having PSU issues with a 550w PSU it's much much more likely that that PSU itself has issues, or that it's rated rather optimistically.
You certainly could get a higher rated unit, but you don't need to, so it's a bit of a waste of money.
