which PSU do you recommend?

Depending on the requirements of your system, this may be too much or too little (or just right) for you. I have a Seasonic M12II 620 BRONZE ; SS-620GM 80Plus Power Supply (copy and pasted right from Amazon, so you can search the exact item). My PC runs three hard drives (RAID 1 boot + a data drive) and a GEForce GTX 660ti video card (that's if for the power hogs of the system) and the PS I bought is perfect for the load.

I have a rosewill lighting 1000w psu and it works and fits great. With all the extra bays I figured go with a 1000w to make sure I'm never underpowered

i recommend the corsair 860, it works really well, is pretty compact, fully modular, and platinum certified for like $150

I only use Seasonic PSUs. Their X series are the absolute best. Google a PSU calculator to see what wattage you'll need.

I am using an OCZ ZX Series 850W gold certified, the ATX cable is to short so you will need to extend it you will find that most power supply ATX cable are to short for a full tower

Really depends on what you will be running. I'm using a 850 watt Silverstone PSU. I runs all my components well, including my new 770GTX. Plus I may get another 770 later for SLI and it should accommodate that as well. Otherwise a 650 watt or so PSU would normally suffice if you only plan on using one card. This case can handle all of them in any event.

I used a 650 W PSU, but it depends on your mobo/cpu requirements. I referred to the Puget Systems site for analysis and guidance. You are likely OK - I built in some headroom for expansion later.

Go with a quality power supply like a 300w seasonic and you'll be fine. Always go name brand on a psu. Never go cheap. A 430w power supply will give you a little overhead to add a graphics card in the future if you want to do dual graphics, but even 430w will be overkill if the card can run off of the pcie bus.

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).

This PSU has and still is serving me very well. It didn't flinch at anything I've thrown at it but I have not tried SLI. Should you are within its limits, you should also be fine with SLI.

If you ever want to upgrade your rig you'll want a psu to handle it the supernova is plenty if power for anything you want I would go with this just to save money latter on instead of buying another psu to upgrade

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

No problem. Google about single rail and multi rail psu. This is a multi rail psu. Single rail is not better as many think.

I agree with GEEZERBUTLER.. who could recommend a powerful + compatible + cheap power supply for this computer?/ thanks

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.

RE PSU at least 250W with a 6-pin connector cable http://www.pcworld.com/article/254346/radeon_hd_7770_review_bare_minimum_for_serious_gamers.html We use the "no name" PSU that came with our case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156259

This is a high end power supply for high end builds, granted you could use it in any system though it may be over kill. Runs pretty damn quiet and no power issues from it, just make sure you get the PSU you need for your power requirements. Put another way, if you are spending 400-4000 on video card(s), 3-4 hundred on a mother board and 200-1000 on memory chips you are talking enthusiastic. Plus you don't have to have a dozen cables tied out of your way as it is modular and you just plug in the cables you need to meet your power needs. I have been running my system 24/7 for 2 years now and no issues no matter what stresses I have put on it for gaming, rendering or just everyday simple use.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

The GTX 970 wants at least a 500W PSU, but I've never had it draw that much power, You should be fine, but you might want to be on the safe side and go up to the 500W

Recommand 800W or above power supply, Silver or above PSU. I used many kinds of brand PSU, Silverstone's quality is reliable.

I would get at least a 450 W PSU... preferably 600 W. I was running into issues with a 450 W, but upgrading to 650 solved all my issues.

I'm running one with a Corsair 850 watt PSU, and wouldn't go any lower than that for this card and any decent kick-ass mobo, MINIMUM. If you're going to get the "good stuff", power it with a good, high quality power supply so you'll have no regrets down the road.
