Do I need a new/better PSU?

[IoWii]

Hello, my friend wants to know, if he needs a new/better PSU because he just upgraded to an i9 9900k from an i5 7600k paired with a 1080ti. He currently uses a Cooler Master b500. From what we have read online, he will probably need a better one if he wants to hit the 5GHz mark on the CPU, but there was no definitive answer. What type of PSU would you recommend? Budget is 100EUR.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't use that psu for such system.He needs to change his psu, he can buy something like seasonic focus plus750w.

I believe the B500 is an older budget model, a replacement like this would help:

Superb, do you happen to know if this one has the 8 pin and 4 pin connectors for the CPU power? He is using Z390 AORUS ELITE and he needs both so he can OC.

No, for your budget you may not find that. However, an 8 pin EPS connector for CPU power delivers 300 watts, you likely won't need anywhere near that.

would like to refer you to the PSU list.

Tell your mate to get a PSU from tier A or above. 650W powersupply should be plenty I think.

Hmmm, even at 5GHz the 9900k does not go beyond 300W? thanks for your help, we'll try to find one that has one, on the tier list i just noticed that exists, but if we cant (it has to be available in our country) we'll settle for the one you linked. Thanks

Focus/plus should always be avoided if there is a comparable alternative, like the Corsair RMx, Bitfenix Whisper M, even G2 and G3 even though their protections are set too high.
