No that's not the one. Why do you care about if the PSU is gigabyte? What website is this? There might be better options

750W/850W P-GM, though that was solved years ago at this point. P650G was not related.

I just wanted a uniformed brand build. I brought a almost brand new gigabyte RX 6800 a while ago so I wanted to continue the brand uniformity. And this website is in the Philippines, my country and my original pick is a Silverstone VIVA650 Gold, Tier B, same as this gigabyte PSU.

Not necessarily for the reasons @DoctorNick mentioned. There may be better options available for a better price.

Yes its fine, not much information about it, but then again it's fairly generic

go lga 1700 unless you are gonna buy a used b3/450 board since the 5700x gets demolished by the 12600k(f)

 

p650g is just another lowend 650w bronze nothing special about it

 

ill just assume you are a gigabyte fanboy hence the brand uniformity but if you think a uniform brand affects the computers functionality then i will assure you that it doesnt

 

Spoiler

and dont take me calling you a gigabyte fanboy as an insult cause i myself will almost always pick gigabyte over asus especially on older bclk/fsb oc era mobos where gigabyte dominates in max fsb, more well known examples being the giga ep45 ud boards (700+ fsb easy with a good cpu and high fsb on quads) and the h55m ud2h (300+ bclk on 1156) with some lesser known examples being their g31/33 boards as i have hit 542 fsb on my g31m s2c and their g33m boards seem to be capable of 600+ fsb, it literally fsbs higher than my bios modded p5q which is only good for ram clocking (1500+ ddr2)

 

and theyre one of the few if not the only mobo manufacturer on x58 that allows 1:1 uncore : memclk so i can easily hit 3000+ ddr3 with a bloomfield on air as seen in the screenshot above at 3368 ddr3 (farthest ive gotten is 3392 but no screenie cause aiming for 3400+) and seems like theyre also good for high ram freq on lga 1156 lynnfield aswell but ill dive into lynnfield oc later on

lately I'm a AMD Fan boy, been a intel guy for many years and AMD Prev gen here in the PH is dirt cheap. And no, not a Gigabyte fan boy, just so happens that I bought a cheap almost brand new gigabyte RX 6800.

 

And the reason why I thought this is okay, its in the B Tier of this PSU LIST But my original and current PSU Plan right now is the Silverstone VIVA650 Watts Gold

in my opinion, either this Gigabyte PSU or the Silverstone VIVA650 Gold is the only best of  its price since it is the only Tier B on this 4000 pesos under (70usd under). The better options are like EVGA or like Super Flower, but all of them, all of the better option is sold out. That is why the gigabyte and the silverstone is my only option. Or the CM MWE V2 650 Bronze

id just get the silverstone unit since its a gold unit and its probably better than a 650w bronze unit

 

there should be some sellers of used psus on fb marketplace or whatever eshops you have available in the philipines which id reccomend over a new warrantyless unit since youll get higher quality and higher wattage psus for cheap, as an example here in indo i can buy used andyson 1200w px for the equivalent of 56$ and a new psu at that price would probably be some trash 750w bronze like the aerocool integrator thatll be lower quality and straight up less futureproof due to the lower wattage

 

 

as for brand matching if you arent a fanboy dont bother as its a massive waste of money for no real gain, dont buy am4 unless you are buying used as a 12600k will demolish a 5700x, should be able to find used b3/450 like the tomahawk or equivalent ~50$ or less which is the main advantage of am4 (cheap but good mobos), if you nullify that advantage am4 is just another dead platform and youd be better off with am5 (ryzen 7500f) or atleast lga 1700 with a 12600k
