BitFenix Whisper M 750W 80+ Gold OR Seasonic Prime Ultra 650W 80+ Platinum

[Feixas]

Hey guys, I'm gonna buy a new PSU soon, which one do you think I should buy ? 

I know Seasonic PSU's are really good, especially that one, but I don't know anything about Bitfenix PSU's even though in these 2 threads (below) they're both in the High End tier. 

The thing is, is 650W enough even for the future, or should I get some more headroom and go with the 750W unit since it's just as good as the seasonic one. 

 

My Rig : 

Ryzen 5 3600 

RX 5700XT / RTX 2080 (still trying to decide)

Since I want to use it for a lot of years, I'll probably throw more powerful components at it 

Thanks for your help

I'd go for the PRIME Ultra. 650W will be more than enough for any single-GPU rig (probably enough even for some dual-GPU setups), with spare headroom, even with capacitor aging (which won't really be a problem, even if you use it for 5+ years, since it's a really good quality PSU).

What are you going to power?

I'd personally take the whisper for the fan, qualitywise they're not that far off from each other

 

bitfenix used cwt here, a manufacturer known for making stuff for many other companies, with probably best known being corsair

Well, since you were one of the people who created that list, you definetly know your stuff. 

Thanks for you suggestion

oh, about your system

 

you could technically do with a good 550w if you wanted

yeah I know, but since I can buy one with some extra juice, I rather go with that and have power to spare, and that way I have enough to upgrade in the future.

I'd also consider taking a look at Corsair's RMx or the Straight Power from be quiet. While they're "only" 80+ Gold, they are still top quality units, and you'll be saving a good chunk of money.

 

If you really want to go for 80+ Platinum though, another great pick, other than the PRIME Ultra, would be be quiet's Dark Power Pro. Check pricing for it in your region and go for whichever you can find for cheaper.

The Whisper M 550W, assuming it's cheaper. It has multi rail and individual PCIe cables. GPUs seem to have maxed out at 250W TDP, so you won't have an issue there.
