New PSU needed

reapzzer

My new PC saga has gone up from a trilogy to a quadrilogy -,-

This chapter is called "Wallet wars my pc strikes again"

 

As you all gathered here may noticed I am in need of a new power supply due to a small thing breaking in my current one and making my life airfield like (minus the planes thankfully)

My requirements for this small glorious box that powers my pcmr wallet sucking machine are as follows:

-quiet 

-capable of comfortably supplying enough juice to my overclocked 7820X and a future volta 2080 gpu (GTX 1280,1280Ti, 2080, 2080Ti whatever they call I'm buying it)

- high quality

-reasonable in price (obviously not some kind of a 15$ 25000W wonderbox elite pro gaming extreme pocket bomb but also not a power supply thay has a case made of gold)

 

So far I found Corsair HX850i to my liking though not so sure about the differences between the RM RMx RMi HX series (except for price ofc) and not so sure about me needing this many watts 

 

As always any help is welcome as I hope to finally have this PC build behind me and finally working as I want it to.

An RM750X would be fine for you. RM750i if you want Link.

EVGA G or P series unit would also work.

It has a single 8pin EPS power connector and my mobo has an 8+4pin. I know this 4pin isn't really needed but I like to have everything plugged in :)

In terms of wattage and number of connectors, you'll know best what you need based on your motherboard and components. I'd wager at least 750w minimum, if not 850w to be safe. No point in going up to 1000w or more though unless you're going to run a dual socket system or SLI GPUs. Here's a handy guide on power supply ranking: 

Personally I'm a huge fan of EVGA GPU's and Power Supplies, since SuperFlower is actually the manufacturer of EVGA's higher end SuperNova series of PSUs, and probably a few other series too. I've accidentally shorted out my entire system with an RGB controller connected to one of the SATA power cables, and thought I'd fried everything as it wouldn't turn back on right away. Thought I'd killed my HDDs too because they were hooked up to the same cable. Apparently, good PSUs have built-in eFuses to prevent this. I was able to unplug the system from the wall for about 10 minutes, then fire it right back up after that, no harm done.
