Seasonic or XFX

Out of those two I would nudge towards the XFX since it is cheaper and it is also made bvy Seasonic anyway so you can't lose mate :)

Be quiet! is a good brand. You could get their Straight Power or Dark Power series.

wrong sub forum, its ok

 

 

you could get away with a 600w psu, no problem. since your rig is fairly high end, slightly unbalenced for gaming but idk what you're using it for, you might want to go for a very nice seasonic 850w platnum. overkill but it'll look great with your doms.

@Butterfish @theelitegamer @Wats Why are you recommending 850W power supplies? If 600 is enough, then even 750W is overkill. Unless the OP wants to add another GPU.

 

@Hadefication The brand does matter as they will be who you interact with when RMAing or dealing with other issues, but there are more important things to consider. Who made the power supply and what components they used for example. I would suggest trying to find information on a power supply you are interested in buying. Look up reviews from customers and from websites like JonnyGuru.com (and the JonnyGuru forums as well, they're pretty good. Lots of enthusiasts.) and feel free to tell us what you are considering in order to get feedback.

To stay in the safe side... even though they have RM750 sounds like he's going to get more heavy duty down the road *if that mobo and CPU doesn't give it away*

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
