Seasonic FOCUS GX-750 80+ Gold - Good?

si1enze

Is it actually good?  Is there something better for less than just over $200 USD?  This power supply has a lot of good reviews on Newegg/Amazon/etc.... but that's a grain of salt type of deal every time.  I'm currently using an EVGA 650BQ with the specs below, and will be upgrading the CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800x, adding another 2x8Gb of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200, and a Noctua NH-D15S.

 

Motherboard - MSI X470 Gaming Plus (Bios is up to date.)

Current CPU - R5 3600 (@4.2 static all cores)

RAM - 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200

GPU is an RTX 2070 Super.. 

an m.2 and a Sata 2.5" SSD.

 

Just trying to make things last as long as possible.

 

I greatly appreciate any suggestions!

It's a solid unit, but that's very overpriced. The Phanteks Amp 750 is a rebrand of the exact same internals for $110, and the MSI A750GF, NZXT C750, and Enermax 750 DF are all similarly good at around that price range.

The Seasonic is $129.99.  Only included that for if it sucked and something better was more expensive.  Thank you for the reply!

The EVGA BQ isn't a bad unit, you could continue using it with the changes you're making. Is there a reason you want to swap it (noisy under load, coil whine?)

No, I just want a good backup PSU.

I would also look at the Corsair RMx, should cost about the same.
