Is this psu good ?

Got this psu about 6-7 years ago for an 3570k and a 670 (yeah overkill but i was small back then) now i am planning to get a 3600+2080s(used) or the upcoming 3070

And now i am thinking if i should use this psu or buy a new 80+ gold one, could not find any good information about it, maybe someone knows more ?IMG_20200830_125018.thumb.jpg.41fd4ef37004136d06421be988dd7675.jpg

welcome to the forums!

 

would definitely recommend a PSU upgrade along with the CPU and GPU. the VS orange units are pretty subpar.

NO WAY REPLACE IT...

 

That's a tier E PSU...

 

With what you are planning you need to be looking at TIER A PSU's, or at the very least Tier B.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

is this the A tier (Cougar | GX-F (Aurum) - LLC)? or is this a different one ?

just wanna be save, cos the price is "just" 7.400 pub what i would consider a good price for A tier over here1799015801_(40).png.8eb27fe0fe333ef437e94ad3cc86e6e0.png
