PSU Upgrade

[MRCW]

Hey! I am looking to upgrade my PSU. I currently have a CWT GPM Series 700W 80+ Bronze PSU, Have a £300 budget for an Upgrade to my PSU.

 

Have attached a part picker link of my current setup, PSU and GPU are not the exact ones but placeholders with similar specs.

it doesnt really look like you need a psu upgrade, that monet could be better spent on different parts like a gpu upgrade(?)

For good PSU you need no more than 100 pounds, so you can use 200+ pounds to get better GPU aswell, or save that for better GPU later.

 

So you have these budget options, for 850W:

Or these slightly higher quality units, at least in terms of warranty length and/or quiet operation: (though MSI apparently also can have 10 year warranty)

I am upgrading the GPU also, heard from people that a bronze-rated power supply is a disaster waiting to happen.

Bronze-rated PSUs IIRC are actually fine if they are of at least good quality, not to mention if it suits your build very well, though gold-rated ones are recommended to be on a safer side (even though there is barely any correlation). For a peace of mind, you may start with the Cultists PSU tier list for the best combination for your build.
