but seriously, you can't tell me if you can afford a 2080, you can't afford a 60-100 dollar psu

Well IDK how much improvement it gives. 

 

Well it's the op's money, maybe want to cut it on PSU. If this is the case i won't even think about it, why do I want to hear my PC whine? When I'm spending enough money that can me broke at any given time.

it's not a double forward, is close to 80+ silver, is on the greatwall version based on the same platform as the txm

 

still it's not something i'd consider with a txm, but i'd work much better

the most stupid thing to do

 

if a psu dies, it'll take something with it

 

cxm isn't that level, but it's still nothing for a 2080 system

So it's almost on the same level as PP10? I won't say it because its silver because BeQuiet also use CWT or something along those lines (almost the exact same as corsair stuff)

Yeah I wouldn't think about it when I'm using a 2080.

yep

 

it's a pretty common issue on the cxm (confirmed to me by @jonnyGURU) and pretty much double forward in general

Yep.  You don't want to use a 2080 with a double forward PSU if you don't like noise. 

 

If you're on a CX-M budget, get the NON M version.

close, but not quite

 

pp10 is FSP, not CWT

Well I don't say the PP10 uses CWT just saying BeQuite, OK that's irrelevant.

 

Well PP10 is not a double forward which is nice so the chance of coil whine is reduced (if there is any).

[Oalei]

Hey where are you located? It's kinda being a jerk at this point tbh.

it's mostly FSP with some seasonic and HEC in between, so not that i'm aware of

Well different company and different designer, I can't say that a company almost use the same stuff as other (except antec with the exception of re-branding or evga)

But i am, I’m spending all the money on certain parts and saving on others in order to fit in my budget of 2000€, which I barely made it with 1997€. So no, i can not afford a more expensive PSU

You're only running 1080p 144hz. Jump down to a vega 64, and go improve the psu with the money saved. Something like a corsair rmx would do just fine. 2080 is unnecessary for 1080p 144hz.

I asked for PSU recommendations, not other parts. Not going to change

Look at other EU stores like Caseking or Overclockers (same network), Mindstar and so on. Local stores will rip you off.

And you could change the monitor to AOC C24G1, considerably cheaper while providing very similar experience.

With that said, CX650m costs around €80 here, at that price you can easily get PP11 500W or higher wattage unit

Regarding the PSU:
http://www.skytech.lt/bn294-quiet-pure-power-600w-80plus-gold-activepfc-p-412875.html

Cheaper and better (you lose semi-modular cables tho).

Okay thanks alot!

[FsyNorth]

So I’ve made a change to the monitor, made it cheaper. It’s the AOC C24G1 now.  So i have more money to work with, i can get a normal PSU now. Budget ~100-120€ Any suggestions?

[FsyNorth]

Looking for a PSU for my RTX 2080 RYZEN 7 2700x combo (or waiting for zen2) . My budget is around 120€

[Fasauceome]

The Corsair RM550X is a great choice

[NunoLava1998]

SeaSonic Prime 550. No better choice for your money. It's better than the RMx @fasauceome recommended
