Hi! Im looking to buy PSU's for 2 differents systems.

 

System 1:

Currently: 3700x, 750Ti, x570 tuf gaming plus wifi, 3 hdd's, 2 m.2, 1 sata ssd on a phanteks p600s with 4 140mm fans.

The psu must be able to handle a future upgrade to 3950x + 2080s.

Budget: around USD100. Looking for good quality psu, silent fan, modular if possible.

 

It does not neet to be 80+ platinum. A good 80+ bronze will do.

 

I found these, i do not know if they are good buys or enough power:

 

USD113 Fractal Design Ion+ 660P 80 PLUS Platinum Certified 660W Full Modular Compact ATX Power Supply with UltraFlex Cables

USD69 GIGABYTE GP-B700H 700W ATX12V SLI CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE

USD109 Thermaltake Toughpower GOLD 750 W 80+

USD112 EVGA GD (2019) 700 W 80+ Gold

USD105 EVGA B5 750 W 80+ Bronze

Feel free to add more models.

 

The other system is more simple. It's an i3-3220 with a gt430 and 2 hdd's. In the future when it breaks, will be replaced with something similar, low cost, low power consumption.

But i want the psu to be a reliable one that can last a few years at least, not garbage and silent. Currently has a noname 400watts noisy as hell that turn's off randomly and has 2 bulged caps , so that computer is awaiting it's new psu.

Budget: around USD35 to 50 max.

What do you recommend here?

 

Thanks!

You'd probably be fine with any of those on the first one. Good luck on the second one finding a PSU right now for $35-50 that's not going to explode.

Yeah... can't find anything good for less than 60 bucks :(

Things will normalize eventually but it will probably be a while.before you can find reasonably priced PSUs again. Freight is jacked right now because of far fewer commercial flights, and prioritization of PPE and other essential items on what remains and container ships. PSUs are bulky and heavy, so inventory is going to remain tight and you're going to have to subsidize the shipping costs.

Thanks!

the ion+ unit is the best of the lot, the B700H unit is a nope, the B5 is also pretty nope compared to the others. Get the ion unit

It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt,

but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, 

what will become, of that, which you have earned

well... the 660watts went out of stock

i can find the Antec HCG650 at about USD110 (internally is the same as the Seasonic focus plus gold), and the seasonic focus gx-550 at about USD104. Are they good?

Yep, go for Seasonic Focus GX then.

Tag or quote me so i see your reply
