so im in need of a new psu as my last one may have burned out my graphics card (lucky enough got a replacement on the way) and don't want to take the risk, so was looking some advise on what to go for, im looking something that gonna be a solid choice but at a reasonable price here is my specs Asus MAXIMUS VII RANGER Intel Core i5 4690K 4GB MSI GTX 980 Fractal Design Define R5 Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 64GB Crucial M4 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Corsair H100i will also be doing some mid to high overclocks thx in advance
What is your budget ? I would advise the Corsair RM750i, very solid PSU with 80Plus Gold and 7 years warranty.
thx for quick replies, budget something around the 80 quid mark if possible but if really need to could strech it abit maybe ~£100

I would avoid corsair PSU's now. The older ones were great but the newer ones the quality has dropped. Have you considered the EVGA GS series ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Power-Supply/dp/B00V5EDNRM Made by seasonic, fan can be put into eco mode, decent warranty. I've used a few of the EVGA PSU's in recent builds and I've been impressed by them.
Yea heard mixed things about corsair so think I'll give them a miss and look into the evga one's, do you think 650 watt would be enough or should i go for a 750 watt?
Hi i have had only 1 corsair psu die on me that was a a v1 tx750 i have 1 tx750, 3 cx750, 2 cx500m, 2 hx520, 1 hx450 running my rigs the 2 hx520 are not on 24/7 but the rest are
I love the Seasonic SS-660XP2. 660W platinum supply, fully modular and hybrid fan mode.(Review here.) It's pricy at roughly £120 on Scan, however, I got mine for about £90 when it went into a Today Only offer. It's quiet, rock solid and has peace of mind with a 7 year warranty period. Yes its pricy, but its near enough the best. However, if its too pricy, then the Silverstone Striders are a good bet. The 650w version comes in at £80 on Scan.
if you get a chance, read about the EVGA Supernova G2 550W here. if that's in ur range, looks like the one to get...amazing performance. make sure it's the g2...7 year warranty and 10/10 from the guru...for some reason, the gs is only $1 cheaper on newegg right now after shipping...fwiw im picking it up as you read this...looks like it is below ur budget...BUY IT NOW
Ok thx for all the recommendations im off work for the weekend so have a bit of time to read up on some reveiws,also what would you recommend for the min wattage for my needs?
You'd be comfortable with 500w as your rig stands. If you want future proofing in there, I'd get a 600-750w. Anything more is silly as even a 500w is overkill really.
worth mentioning the EVGA PSU's are re-branded SuperFlower PSU's which are steller. And normally a little cheaper.
great thx all.so think im gonna go for the evga 650w gs 66 quid on amazon,under budget which is nice and throw in a new nice clean mouse matt
get the g2, not the gs...while as I understand it seasonic makes the gs, and I usually love seasonic...the unit doesn't test as strong...my advice anyway
im still considering the g2 but only place i been able to find it is on scan and they charge a lot for delivery to where i am
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 £72 and I believe, free delivery. For the extra ~£6 you get a longer case, 2 years longer warranty, optional semi-fanless mode; I'd say it's probably worth it. http://www.cclonline.com/product/18...0W-G2-Power-Supply-Unit-80-PLUS-Gold/PSU0907/
