I want to buy a mid-budget PSU and I'm not sure which one to go for. I can spend USD 160 on it and not more than that.

In addition to all the components mentioned above it also needs to power a 5m LED strip and some case fans.

 

Here are the 3 options

#1 Corsair RM Series RM550 550W

#2 Seasonic M12II-620 EVO

#3 Cooler Master GM Series G650M

 

Which one is the best for this system???

Thanks. 9_9

I would recommend the Seasonic unit because its Seasonic, it will provide you with all the power you need.

If the LED's are just computer LED's, I would not worry at all about them LED's. If they are some kind of regular LED's, which need an adapter in the first place... I dunno, but I would look into a real adapter.

Another PSU to power just the LED Strips? Is that necessary?

 

Plus i use an adapter for it.

The RM is the best of those three PSUs.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it. 

My system: PCPartPicker || For Corsair support tag @Corsair Josephor @Corsair Nick || My 5MT Legacy GT Wagon ||

I'm leaning towards the RM plus i won't have to wait to sleeve its cables. They already look good (just a plus point)

I am not that into LED lighting. But a 5 meter long LED strip sounds like it's not intended to be inside a computer case or be powered by a computer. Because of that, I was asking about how you are powering it. But I think you tryed to say you powered that strip with an adapter:

If you power that LED strip with an adapter, and not with the PSU, it shouldn't be listed. It's the same thing when I'd say I have lots of computer components, and also a 2000 watt space heater and a fridge. They aren't connected to the pc at all, so why list them.

 

However, if you are using an LED strip connected to your PSY,  which isn't intended to be powered by a PSU, you might need an second PSU. Just because of stability issues or whatnot.
