Should I get the RM 550?

[FalzarPMU]

If not, what do you reccomend that's 100 CAD or less.

Modular/eco or silent mode preferred.

[Vacsol]

Considering we have no idea what you'll be using this power supply with, I'm not sure how you expect us to give a recommendation

[RevoltTrain]

I definitely recommend it, I have the RM750 in my rig and I absolutely love it it's great and the flat cables make cable management a breeze. Depending on the other components of your rig of course.

Like Vacsol said, we do need to know what you are going to be using it for. 

But I like my RM650, very quiet, and you can get sleeved cables from Corsair later. I personally have the white ones. They look quite nice.

80+ Gold is nice and the PSU is of quality.

I plan on getting a gtx 870 when they come out, or something like that. Right now my computer has a really crap 400w psu without any 80 plus cert and it runs fine. 400+ watts should be fine, maybe 500+ to be safe

I'm planning to get a GTX 870 also when it comes out.

The RM 550 will be just fine, but I don't know if it can hold out that much if you want to overclock.

 

But it still depends though. What's your full system specs?

Where are you finding an RM550 for less than 100CAD? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/power-supply/#e=6,5,4&p=1,2&W=430,600&sort=a8

I would recommend the Seasonic G 550W, Cooler Master V550S, and Rosewill Capstone-550-M. All cheaper than the RM550 on this list. None have a semi-fanless mode however, and all are semi-modular.

I usually don't recommend the RM Series due to the price and poor quality capacitors (@connorpiper), but of all the RM Series units, the 550W and maybe 450W units make the most sense. There aren't many fully-modular units with fanless modes around that Wattage. 750W+, the RM gets destroyed by numerous competitors.

Get it. Simply one of the sexiest PSU's available PLUS flat cables PLUS future upgrades for sleeved cables.

I just noticed it was 99. something in usd

[nightlitezzz]

Like some people have suggested, you can get a better PSU for the same or less money. Seasonic G, XFX XTR, CM V, Capstone.

Suggestions?

Those are good suggestions. None are fully-modular besides the XFX XTR however.

whoops im drunk, I didnt read them properly and thought they were just brand names

[Sintezza]

550W should be more then enough for a single gpu setup.

Offcours not much to say about the futured gpu´s, cause they aren´t there yet.

But i dont expect them to be more powerhungry then current cards.
