PSU needed

WhispTV

I just got done with my build trying to reuse my Corsair CX750 non modular power supply. I would like to replace it with a modular PSU and need some help locating one. Looking for modular, 2 x 8 pin for cpu and 8 pins for pcie Versus 6+2. Looking to spend the the least amount required for those features. Could use help versus sorting through the whole psu tier list.

I am confused on how my motherboard had a 8+4 pin which on my current I don't see. So wouldn't want to buy one with the same issue. Also would prefer to have a little better looking cables. The 8 pins for the graphics card is a 6+2 connector and looks like buttcheeks so another thing I'd like to avoid. I'm looking for something 600W and up. Running a R7 2700 with a 1070.

Check out the great psu list.

Which tier would be worthy of looking at. Don't feel that post does it justice to understanding what the difference between tiers are and where I should be drawing the line.

I'd say tier 7 or 6. Also if you want some nice psu's maybe check out some seasonic ones. They're reliable, normally modular, and come at your power range. They might be a little pricey though.

You shouldn't look at the tier anyway

 

sadly we don't know your budget or what country you are from, so we can't really recommend anything

 

Now, do you really need dual 8 pins? unless you are a skylake-X/threadripper user they are not necessary. Focus on getting a quality PSU instead

 

And 8 pin pcie is the same as 6+2

those are shit tiers mostly and seasonic makes shit as well, like most brands so stop recommending brands please.

 

Besides, I'm pretty sure most PSUs in those tiers don't have dual 8 pin CPU plugs, heck, even some of the best PSUs don't have those.

My budget is a cheap as possible. I was looking for dual 8 pin for my cpu since my mobo supports 8+4. Should I just leave the 4 blank? Also I kind wanted 8 pin pcie for visual purposes. My current 6+2 has like an extra loop in the wire and I hate looking at it that way. I would say sub $100 If possible and if not not much over. I'm in the US

in those boards you usually don't need to plug the additional 4 pin

 

this is only $45 right now
