EVGA SuperNOVA

[TheBloodedEagle]

I'm having trouble picking a psu. Some say to get the cheapest one and others say to spend +$150. I've picked the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 but I don't know if its any good or if 650W is even enough for a GTX 1070 and i5-7600k. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

{EDIT}

 

I've decided to go with the SuperNOVA G2 650

Depends, the evga NEX(G1) is mediocre, the g2/g3 is excellent.

EVGA's GQ, GS, G2, PS, P2 and T2 units are all very good quality. B2 and BQ are good as well, though on the lower end. 

 

The G1 and regular B units aren't very good and the W1 and N series are terrible.

This is what NOT to do. The psu is the only part in a pc that on failure, can kill multiple parts with it. Definitely invest in a good PSU. Good ones also have long lifespans of about 10 years, so you can use them in multiple builds, especially since the technology hasn't changed much. I would purchase at least a tier 3 from this list -

I would say get a SeaSonic. They are usually extremely high quality and I recommend them.

As others have said, never cheap out on a PSU.

 

I have had great luck with the SuperNOVA's.

 

Yes, the 650 should easily be enough for you based upon the 2 items that you listed even with overclocking or 2x SLI (but probably not both)

A 650G2/GS/G3/GQ would be fine for your system, 550W even.
