Please help me with the PSU!

[Hunty]

Hello everyone!

 

I hope somebody can help me with this. So my new rig so far:

-i5 4670k Possibly OC with Corsair H100i

-R9 280x OC 3gb.

-Gigabyte z97 UD3h

-1SSD/1HDD

-8 gb Kingston Hyperx ram 1600hz/cl9

 

I think the whole system will use around 480 W But correct me if i'm wrong! Sadly i already overspent my budget, so i am looking for the best price/performance ratio right now:) The budget is around 90 dollars!

If you want great performance for little money, go with EVGA SueperNova series PSU's

An 80+ Gold 550w one is fine, like the CS550M or RM550. or you ccan get some 600w 80+ bronze PSU.

If you put them into PCPartPicker it will give you an estimated wattage.

Around 413W.

 

I'd get the 4690K instead, it will overclock better.

If it is about money then scrap the SSD as it isn't needed.  Also you could go with a cheaper air cooler, Hyper 212 Evo or similar, to save you some money and still get some awesome temps.  Do not cheap out on the psu.  Look at what Antec and SeaSonic have to offer.  Antec often has affordable options moreso than SeaSonic.  In regards to the cpu if this is a gamer's only build you could go with that new Intel cheapy cpu, the G3258, that kicks butt for now and then replace it later on when you have more money.

I cant recommend anything but Seasonic. I have had no issues with mine, unlike my Corsair which sadly died about 6 months after purchasing. 

Not to say that Corsair is bad though!

EVGA B600 is decent enough.

Sadly in my country, the price difference between the two cpu is pretty huge, around 100+ dollars -.-

That is rather unfortunate. I'm sorry, I was not aware of the situation.

Welcome to the forum. I hope your stay here is long and pleasant.

Get a 550w and you are golden. Let us know your budget and location/preferred website and we might suggest a few good ones. I can highly recommend the Cooler Master V550S.

Well, i already got the SSD, and i got the H100i as a present from my friend, becouse he bought a full circle watercooling system, and he no longer needed it. I will look into seasonic, and Antec, thanks for the advice:)

Any particular website i can search for? What are the available options for that price point over there?

Well, u can search from this: www.arukereso.hu/tapegyseg-c3158/

or from this: http://ipon.hu/webshop/group/tapegyseg/449/ Both website is cheap. The budget is 20.000 Ft(more or less) The second website gives 5 year warranty for corsairs, maybe VS650?

Or this Chieftech? http://ipon.hu/webshop/product/chieftec_gps_600a8_600w_dobozos/215945

[atrash]

If you can stretch your budget a bit, I found this to be the best that is closest to your budget. I have no idea if the price is correct or not. http://www.arukereso.hu/tapegyseg-c3158/cooler-master/v650-rs-650-amaa-b1-p221032932/

 

But if you can't, just look for any Seasonic, XFX or Antec psu around 500w-650w

or the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX600B or corsair CX600v2 are also quite decent.

Thanks, i think i will buy the coolermaster v650!

Go for a Corsair semi modular around the 600W mark, cheap and reliable, and keeps your cable management tidy.

Thanks, it turned out, that the CM v650 is the G650m in the store, so the v650 is out of my budget.

**** Corsair!  Go with Antec or SeaSonic and you will be happier.

Because all that matters are the brand names, right?

I trust these brands more than Corsair and I can in fact say that I have seen more people mentioning problems with Corsair psus on LTT than the other brands I mentioned.  

Also it is a known fact that Antec and SeaSonic are top quality brands so I have no problem pushing people towards their psus.

Your computer would be fine on a good quality 550W PSU. I would guess it would pull around 380W in games, maybe a bit more if everything is stressed to 100%.

 

For comparsion this website said they got 403W with a 8350 and 280X in BF4.

 

http://stablecomputer.com/power-consumption-analysis/

 

Whereas this site had a graph showing the power consumption of a 4670K system:

With your $90 budget I'd look at a Corsair or Seasonic PSU. The SeaSonic S12G S12G-650 can be found for around $90 and I think it has all of the connections you need with 650W output.
