PSU What PSU for £100 or less

Hey another question by me, im looking to replace my ageing Antec Truepower 850w PSU. its given me 3+ yearsw of great service but its a lot bigger then the PSUs now available (180mm length) and its not fully modular. It was a pain to install in my tiny TJ08-E, what do you guys recommend i really would like it to be under £100. Was looking at the corsair AX850 but its £149!!!

 

no one? hmmmmm must be my budget i can go up a few ££s

 

mmMMmmm AX850 Gold 7 year warranty.

EDIT: Although from memory its pretty big

 

lol anything else?? there must be something

edit:its only 160mm long where as mine is over 180mm long and in a TJ08-E makes a lot of difference

 

Corsair AX-650 ? Only 110GBP

hmmmmm i think you guys are on commision from corsair..... is 650w going to be enough if i want to sli my 580 or even get the kepler equivalent

 

Well, i initially planed to suggest you the Seasonic X, but it is at same or higher price level, while being pretty much the same (Corsair AX650,750 and 850 are made by Seasonic based on X-Series design).

Seriously, there is nothing better on the market, the semi-passive mode, the ultrasilent operation of these power supplies, the long warranty. Buying this PSU is like buying a good IPS display - you will switch few computers while using the same PSU.

 

looks like ill have to go for the corsair AX850 then

 

hows the corsair TX Enthusiast range?? worth buying?

 

i GOT A gs700 may be looking rid of to get a smaller psu, 7 weeks old

 

gs700?? got a link to specs?

TX is Corsair lower mainstream.

 

i should have mentioned im looking for a fully modular PSU

 

Well, then you are back to Seasonic X or Corsair AX.

 

damn it oh well corsair ax here i come

 

The OCZ ZT 750 could be an alternative, only 80% bronze but fully modular and at £80 a fair bit cheaper than the AX.

Basically a Seasonic M12D 850W.

Both of the above are 160mm long.

The ZT series uses a case which is 175mm long.

thats 104 if you can cope with a non modular 24 pin

 

i got an xfx 850w and its great, i think it has just 1 big 12v rail as well

 

If you're going for fully modular to sleeve it then the Silverstone Strider is the best one for that. It's the only one to have full ATX spec 1 to 1 cabling on the plugs. After saying that there's probably capacitors on the PCIE cable to help suppress ripple but you can remove them with apparently little loss in performance.
