Hello all. I am looking for a quality PSU for supplying clean, stable power to my I5 2500k when I over-clock to ~4.5Ghz.

I have been looking at this PSU.

When I buy a new PSU I would also like it to have enough headroom with the GTX 560 Ti card.

Finally I was wondering if the corsair h50 was compatable with the 1155 socket, and if it would be a good choice for when i overclock my cpu.

Thx in advance.

That would be fine, though for a single 560ti and a 2500K, you might consider getting something with lower power output, but more stability. The difference in your OC likely won't be large, though...that unit's solid enough and the motherboard will have its own voltage regulation for the CPU.

Would you be using the GTS 250 and thee GTX 560Ti in a multi-GPU config??
I would not recommend a Corsair H50.Not a fan of self contained liquid cooling units.
The ThermalRight Silver Arrow or the Noctua NH-D14, would be my recommendation.
Or even the Coolermaster V6GT.
If you would be running a multi-gpu config - 1st one is $99 2nd one is $95

And if you will only be using 1 GTX 560Ti A 500-550W will be more than enough.
