Graphics Card Quick Question, PSU

[TylerRific]

is a 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular Power Supply enough for an RX 5700XT?. CPU: Ryzen 3600X, Ram: 16GB, SSD: 240GB, HDD: 1TB, about 8 USB 3.0 and 2.0 things connected. I will mostly use this for VR with the Rift S.

Yes. It is enough.

i was planning on going with this - https://www.newegg.com/montech-century-650-650w/p/1HU-0236-00009

since it's so cheap, everything else by EVGA, Corsair and ThermalTake are all over $100-$150

NOooo....

 

Why? why?

 

You bother to ask, and then pick a model that has 50% negative reviews?

 

Spend $10 more and get something good.

No, just no. That PSU isn't good. There's a reason it's so cheap. It's basically supposed to be treated as 230V only because the platform used blows up when the V drops below 90.

 

Either spend the extra on the Thermaltake 650w if you want full modularity, or sacrifice the modularity and efficiency for something like the Corsair CX 650w or the Silverstone Essential Gold 650  though the Silverstone only has a 3-year warranty vs the 5 year of the Corsair, plus Corsair customer service is pretty good.

there's fully-modular for cheaper, like the Thermaltake GF1

 

[mdk777]

Yeah, the TX 750 is a great choice.

 

Thermaltake is below that in my opinion.

 

All are huge upgrade from your original choice ;)

80 Plus Gold Certified

Just FYI.... "Gold" is only a measure of efficiency.  "Gold" doesn't mean the PSU is better than any PSU that's "Bronze".  It's JUST a measure of efficiency.
