Power Supply Upgrade help

[Pastorcasper 2.0]

So I am going to be upgrading my power supply because in some of my previous (quite regretted) PC purchasing choices i got a fairly sucky one and need an upgrade both now and if I upgrade anything else in my system. So I think 750-850 should be plenty (for sure plenty atm) and enough for any future upgrades until I would need to get a new power supply anyway. So any suggestions for a good, fully modular power supply at that wattage? I just need it to be good and reliable and work right, so I'm willing to pay for that but I dont need a $400 one, and I dont care a ton about being insanely quiet. 

Thanks

Depends on the system you plan on powering. What're your specs?

this is my current specs, so obviously I need an upgrade, but I want to go higher now instead of having to upgrade again when I get better specs

Make sure you quote us so we can see your responses

 

Here are a couple options

Bitfenix Whisper M 450

 

Seasonic Focus GX 550

 

These would power most any rig you can throw at them, with a single GPU. 450 watts would sustain a 6 core CPU and something along the lines of an RTX 2070 super or GTX 1080, while the Focus GX will basically handle anything up to your classic 2080 ti and 3700X (barring any intense overclocking.)

thanks, but wouldnt higher wattage be better for upgrades in the future just for more headroom for OCing and for better efficiency?

Like I mentioned, the upgrade paths for both are quite substantial. They're both 80+ gold which is very sufficient.

The highest wattage you would need for OCing a high end single-card build would be 650w 80+ Gold, about a 50 watt overhead from max power draw of a 9900k (~250w @ 5.0 GHz) and 2080ti (~350w maxed out) at once. But both of them being full load at once is unrealistic for most usages, like gaming or editing.

 

If you are just gaming, 500w-550w 80+ Gold is more than enough. As @Fasauceome said, the BitFenix Whipser M 450w and the Seasonic Focus GX 550w are both pretty good options for mid-range (450w) or high end stock gaming (550w)

 

If you feel you need more headroom, a 600w/650w PSU would be the highest wattage I would go. Something like the Seasonic Focus GM 650w or Cooler Master MWE Gold if you want a fully modular PSU. There is also the EVGA GD 600w but that's been out-of-stock everywhere for the past month due to COVID-19, hell, a lot of good cheap PSUs are due to it.
