Need help picking up new PSU

[drdexter]

So i decided to clean my PC before starting to do work and my PSU decided to die on me for some reason. I tested it with paperclip method and its dead. Hopefully that is the only thing that decided to die, i dont have a spare PSU to test other parts. It was a raidmax 700w PSU, which is not really the best and it lasted 3 and a half year so i guess it served its duration. Just hoping it the only thing that died. One thing to note i changed dead case fan with another old (working) fan that i had so that might have been a trigger for killing PSU.

Anyway i am search for new PSU but since virus thingy is messing everything up my choices of PSU are very limited so i need your help on deciding which PSU should i get since most of them are kind of a trash.

 

Here are 3 main suppliers in my country with already selected PSU section so you just browse trough it:

https://www.emmi.rs/racunari-komponente/racunarske-komponente/napajanja-dodatni-ventilatori.html

My pc spec is:
Ryzen 5 3600x
GTX 1080
32gb of Kingston HyperX ram (dont remember speed exactly)
3TB HDD (2+1) and 500gb Kingston SSD
Gygabite AB350 Gaming 3 mobo (i got it when i had Ryzen 1600, upgraded bios to work with 3600x)

My desired price would be up to 120 euros (around 12000 RSD, 1 euro is around 100 rsd) but i am willing to go a bit more if the quality improvement is significant.

Also you can check this website but its not updated regularly meaning most likely stuff is sold out from there https://www.itsvet.com/napajanje-pda1-57.i   You can select price ranges on the left top.

Also i will be scouting local shops tomorrow and monday for any good left over PSUs so feel free to give me some suggestion on what i should be looking for (brand, power, + rating etc etc)

My choices would be:

Antec NE650M/  Alternative link

Seasonic Core-GC

Seasonic Core-GM

 

Those are PSUs that are okay in price, especially with how high imports fees can be.

If you can, find deals on the Seasonic Focus GX/GM/GC 550w models, or the 500/550w models of the PSUs I listed, as long as the price difference is big enough to consider the lower wattage model.

Of those 3 cpus only Antec is available. I found another website that deals in my country but its complicated to navigate so i made screenshots of available PSUs so feel free to look at it and see if there is some other good one if antec also goes out of stock.

The only PSU  that I see in those screenshots (had to zoom in, hard to see)  that I would recommend would be the SAMA Armor Gold 650w.

If you were more budget oriented, the Seasonic S12III is alright, but it's not something for higher-end builds.

Which one would you chose? Sama or Antec?

Also opinion on 750W Seasonic SSR-750FX? Its 140 eur but what strikes me that it has 10 year warranty so its very tempting to me.

The Seasonic FX would be better, but you don't need 750 watts and the FX series has issues with high transient GPUs. See if you can find a lower wattage of the same model.

SAMA first, Antec second.

Can you explain a bit more about "high transient" stuff? Honestly never heard of it.

And i did find SEASONIC FOCUS GX-650 but its a bit more expensive (like 5$). Is it still better than 750? And i also found Seasonic
Focus Plus 650 Gold SSR-650FX. Is it literally same PSU like other 650 or is there some quality difference?

A High transient GPU will have large, quick swings between high and low power draw, and some power supplies OCP/OVP were getting triggered by those swings. The GX series is the model that Seasonic put out to replace the FX series that fixes the problem. It's better if you are getting a high power GPU in the future but honestly at the price points they are asking, the SAMA and Antec units would be better value.

Hmmmm... That is true that Sama is better value but i am honestly quite drawn to 10 year warranty on Seasonic. Makes me feel much more comfortable it wont fail on me, plus if it does they better fix that  Purely based on performance between those what would you chose, in what order (since i dont know if they have them in stock due to virus messing everything up)? Ignore prices.   And i do intend to most likely upgrade my gpu in future with newer RTX cards since i do a lot of Blender and they just integrated Nvidia RTX in their cycle renders making them much faster to render.

Performance? You mean build quality, and I would do GX, FX, SAMA, then Antec.

Yes quality my bad. I will go for GX then. Hopefully it will serve me with next gen RTX gpus. Thank you for entertaining my questions
