Upgrading PSU

[hunter8793]

I currently have a EVGA NEX650G 

It doesn't have any real issues. But someone told me it is a group regulated PSU and that is not the best.

 

I'd like to upgrade to the better (non regulated)  and quieter PSU.

 

I've looked over the their list and can't pin point exactly what i should get. 

 

Budget: $150 or less

Preferred wattage: 650-750

 

 

thanks guys

indeed, NEX Gold or G1 is based off FSP Aurum, and is group regulated

 

considering your budget and wattage preference here, I would currently choose this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/n34BD3/enermax-revolution-df-650-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-erf650awt

well, what you want is independently regulated. Group regulated is when 3.3v and 5v are handled by the same voltage regulator, while independent regulated PSUs have separate 12v, 3.3v, and 5v.

what about a Corsair RM650i? Better than the Enermax D.F?
