Hey, my old psu (Evga 500B) has failed and honestly Im not suprised. Im upgrading my rig and im buying a rx 580 off a friend for $70 and i need a new psu. What would be a good psu for a rx 580 and I5 8400 build. I do not care about modularity and the less the better(although i do not want to go with a low quality one as i did before) The corsair CX450 looks nice but id like your guys opinion.

Im not familiar with that one. Is it just the Cx650m but better? I also haven't seen 80+ silver psus. Are they just better 80+ bronze or are they another way of saying 80+ white variants(which i know are pretty bad)

You can always check https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator by putting your specs into the website and it will determine what PSU you need :)

Unfortunately you actually can't because power supply calculators are bogus.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

I think, @jonnyGURU help develope the unit. Corsair was trying to revive the non-existent silver market. For some reason the units were met with a big yawn

EU sales team screamed "WE NEED SILVER!", then it launched and they said, "WE CAN'T SELL THIS!" so now they're on blow out.

 

It an HEC platform.  LLC with DC to DC.  Rifle bearing fan, all Jap caps, and a +12V rail switch to toggle between single and multiple +12V rail.

Wait why did they say "We can't sell this! " seems a bit alarming, is it as @Sat1600 said "better than cx but worse than tx"

I was about to say, those reccomended a 400w for my 1070 ti and 2600x build for a friend 

Wot? Your average PSU calculator should have suggested 800 watts for a rig like that. 400-500 does the job just fine.

Yeah he doesn't need 650 watts,  but that corsair vengeance is just the deal right now at any wattage.

Avoid the focus if you have a choice. Tends to be noisy, only 1 pcie connector, problems with vega/2080ti, etc.
