What power supply should i get?

[NizonRox]

I've saved up quite a bit to build a new build instead of my old prebuild hp that is worth almost nothing

 

 

So the build so far is:

 

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

MSI Z97-Gaming 9 AC ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card

Cooler Master Storm Trooper ATX Full Tower Case

 

Im hoping to get a powersupply that allows me to oc, and being silent when i dont game.

If you got tips for the rest of the build then let me now.

The pc is for Rendering, Video editing and gaming.

EVGA/SeaSonic 550W/650W PSU.

I can recommend EVGA Supwernova G2 PSUs. Wattage-wise your system won't need more than a 500W PSU however getting the 750W version you might never actually get in the power draw range at which the fan of the PSU starts spinning. Either way, the Supernova G2 PSUs are really good quality and they are semi-passive.

And XFX* (XFX uses only SeaSonic PSU' s)

[Marinatall_Ironside]

A Corsair HX750 or AX760i would be good choices for that system too. You also have to take into account capacitor aging as well when you choose a power supply.

I dont know much about EVGA and my way older brother told me that he has crosair so i took like 5 min looking around and found this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-ax760 would it be acceptable too?

Spending $429 on a Z97 board doesn't make any sense. You can get an X99 system with your budget.

EVGA G2/GS are excellent power supplies. The G2 is made by SuperFlower and the GS is Seasonic. The Corsair AX is also a Seasonic made unit, but it is expensive compared to other models. If you want to stick with Corsair then look at the RMx range.

As for the rest of your build, see if you can reuse the case by adding some extra fans

If id use my old case for a new case that'd leave my 980 out of one of the sides of it

What features are you talking about ?

But would it work with my build(and oc) while still being at silent mode at times?

that PSU will definiteley be in its passive state when you are idling or doing stuff on the desktop. When you use 3D applications (like games) that draw a lot of power, the fan might kick on, but i am sure it's very quiet. At least i haven't heard any stories about loud corsair AX PSUs.
