BitFenix Formula 550W vs EVGA 500 GD

[ZBVirus24]

I am not asking what's better.

Obviously the Formula is better.

My question is will the 500w EVGA GD 500 80+ gold be good for my rig:

(Don't worry I am not THAT stupid a have a HARD DRIVE I can use lying around in my house)

Feel free to suggest anything you want about my PC.

 

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance 

 

 

EDIT: P.S, the EVGA is about 20$ cheaper with shipping.

The GD is enough for your rig

20 dollars is not worth it at all, grab the Formula.

 

The 5700XT did heritage something from Vega/Radeon7 which is it's love for very high current demand, likes high amperage as well so the Formula multi-rail setup on 12v with more combined amperage and high current capacity will ensure this card works healthy for a long time.

 

The GD is an inferior PSU all around as you already know and sure it will work day one but you'll always gonna be closer to a system failure just to save enough for a lunch? I mean seriously...

Convinced.

Formula Gold 550 is $70, GD is $67 without MIR...

If you can afford it I would recommend spending the extra $20 for the Bitfenix Formula, but if your budget is tight and that means sacrificing something else like going to slower RAM or a smaller SSD then going with the EVGA GD should be okay for your build.

At the end of the day only you know what your budget is like and how much value $20 holds to you.

It likes high current and high amperage? Ampere is a measurement of current.

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say here.

Looking at the spec sheets the Bitfenix Formula 550W has max 30A for the 12V_vga rail, compared to the max 42A on 12V for the EVGA GD 500w with its single rail design.

Having 'more combined amperage and high current capacity' won't make your graphics card 'healthier'. If it did everyone would be buying AX1600i's. Having a PSU that cannot supply enough is a problem, sure, but that's not what you said... Are you suggesting that the EVGA GD cannot supply enough power for the graphics card to work?
