Ok, I've been out of building computers for quite awhile and have fallen behind in several areas! When I made a PC last "Gold" was the top tier PSU...Now I see "Platinum" and "Titanium"... Which is the "top" in term of stability and efficiency? Building a Ryzen 9 3900 series on a B450 Steel Legend MB, undecided on GPU at this time. Want to run 64Gb of ram and a couple SSDs. Several fans with some LEDs.

 

Thinking, from what I've read, that 650 watts should be more than adequate.

 

Thoughts? Any good deals on a top quality PSU?

Titanium is the highest efficiency, but stability? None of the ratings are related to being stable. Have you seen our PSU tier list?

 

 

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

My personal picks are the Bitfenix Whisper M or the be quiet! Straight Power 11. Both are very solid PSUs and will have no issues powering the PC.
