Looking For PSU Advice

[BarackOBatman]

I have been running my RTX 2080 ti + Delidded 8700k overclocked on air cooling using a Corsair CX650-M (2015 Model.)

I also have a UPS if that makes you feel any better.

I am in the process of swapping to a new case and I decided maybe it is time to swap to a better quality PSU.

I have in my possesion, the CX650-M, and also a EVGA 550 G2.

What would you guys reccomend, I can use one of these or I can stop at Microcenter and get

- Seasonic Focus Gold 650 for $100 https://www.microcenter.com/product/501724/seasonic-usa-focus-gold-650-watt-80-plus-gold-atx-semi-modular-power-supply

I also get 5% off any of the microcenter ones.

So what would you guys do? Do i need even more watts than this? I feel like the answer is obvious,get the 2019 RM650 and I should never let the CX650-M anywhere near my 2080 ti again.

Mostly looking to validate my thinking and justify spending money on another PSU when i already have a few.

You could use the EVGA 550W G2... or if you prefer buying something brand new then go with the RM650x (2018) as it's the best PSU of the bunch you've mentioned.

I don't particularly need something brand new. I think i'll use the 550 G2 for now then and I'll keep an eye for deal on something better.

I mean the EVGA G2 is significantly better/safer than the old CX-M so you should have been using it already xD'

 

But yeah the RMx is a great pick, careful not to get yourself fooled by the RM (2019) as it is NOTHING close to the RMx (2018)... it is a much stripped down version cheaper in everything inside... in fact you'd be better off even with the TX-M (2017) than it.

Using the EVGA G2 was my original plan but then I figured maybe it wasn't enough watts. I don't recall my system using over 400 watts though on my wattmeter/UPS so i'll probably be fine. I only recently came into possession of the EVGA G2, so it's not like I was intentionally using the crappier of the two PSUs for my personal rig for the past two years.

 

Thanks for the tip on the RM 2019. I was absolutely fooled. I would have never guessed it would be inferior to the RMx (2018) or even the TX-M. Funny enough, I also had a TX550-M though I just sold it like 2 weeks ago.

(Edit: The RM 2019 is even on the same tier in the PSU tier list so I assumed if anything it would be superior)

 

Anyhow, you rock. Thanks!
