I live in Europe just wanted to ask if anyone has experience with this model https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/500-Watt-be-quiet--Pure-Power-11-CM-Modular-80--Gold_1281116.html

I would gladly take suggestions since i would prefer a beefier wattage 

my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pjTsY9 worst case scenario would be adding something like a 2080ti  in the future

Thanks in advance

If you plan to add a 2080ti in the future, I suggest you get at least 1,200 Watts power supply. But if you're just swapping the RTX2080ti to replace GTX460(based from your partpicker list, I suggest to get a 700-750watts gold psu instead.

Ridiculous. No single card needs a 1200W PSU. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Keyword "add". And it is not just the card that will use the entire 1,200W. I do not want to limit the OP based on what he/she states. Pay attention to my whole response not intended for you.

I run a 3080 on an 850W with no issues what so ever. Even the highest power GPUs are only rated for 350-400 watts. I can see an arguement for a 1000 watt PSU with a single very powerful GPU but 1200 W is complete overkill.

Just seen last reply, If you were gonna add another (second) card then an argument can be made for over 1000 watts.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

fully agree. Im running a 3900x and a 3080ti from 850 Watts and it's fine 1200 W for a 3700x and a 2080ti is totally overkill.

He's clearly going to replace the 460, not use it and the 2080 ti at the same time because that would be pointless, and even if he did want to use them both at the same time for some reason he still wouldn't need 1200W.

460 tops out at 160W, a 2080 ti ~300W. So no.

Again...keyword from the OP... "adding..." Pay attention guys. I know the ratings of the gpu myself. You are not the only one who can afford. And I am just following the OP's statement of his/her options. Well, no point discussing this. And I am not trying to argue with anyone. You all have a point. But read the actual query from the OP before your react. Now if the OP will say that it is just a single card that he/she will be using. Then the 1,200Watts will be out of the table. Clear?

Thank you for the info. Now here's my response based from that info:

- For GTX460 gpu in the system, 500Watts would be enough.

- For RTX2080Ti in the system, 650Watts would be your sweet spot.

My apologies. I cannot recommend by price since it might vary the moment you have already decided to buy one. What I can suggest are brands based from what I and my customers trust(in any order):

- Corsair

- Seasonic

- Asus ROG Strix

- Cooler Master

- be quiet

- MSI

Every major brand sells (I don't say makes because most of these don't manufacture anything) some good units and some not-so-good to bad units. Never recommend PSU's by brand.

Those are mine and my trusted customers' preference. And I am just sharing. There are reasons why they still keep their brands over the years. And kept loyal customers. When I procure something, I do not just focus on price/cost. The smartest way is for you to get the quality out from your money's worth. PCs are a form of investment to many of us. So I do value their money well spent. There are global standards and strict quality controls along with their RMA procedures that these branded ones do and have. You yourself is using a branded one, I suppose. Will you not recommend it given the chance. Price and cost will not give you any quality assurance. But match that price or cost with a trusted quality brand and you'll have the best choice.

 

What I was suggesting to the OP is to look at those brands to match his budget range by the time he/she decides to buy one. To help him/her at least narrow down his/her options. I am just trying to help. It will still be up to @StalePie42 what to get for his/her build.

And you won't do that by blindly buying brand names.

I would recommend the specific model I use, based on the research I have done about its actual quality, if it fit someone's needs. I wouldn't just recommend anything with the same logo slapped on it.

Seasonic was once decent, not anymore.

Asus strix psus also based on Seasonic so they are not good either.

 

Just sayign that buy corsair does not make sence. yes corsair has good RMA in most countries, yes they have good units, but they also have not so good units that people buy since they assume they are good without even googling anything.

 

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

I'd recommend the Corsair RMx line. They're good PSUs that don't break the bank. And they're available in most (relevant) wattages. 10 year warranty is also a nice bonus.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Is this your current PSU or are you planning to buy?

 

Up to €80,

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/650-Watt-MSI-MPG-A650GF-Modular-80--Gold_1382977.html

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/650-Watt-BitFenix-Whisper-M-Modular-80--Gold_1131525.html

and

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/750-Watt-BitFenix-Formula-Non-Modular-80--Gold_1212319.html

are the best you can get.

Are you insane? 750w is the max you need for a 2080 ti. You can get away with a 650w most likely
