I need PSU recommendations please.

Go to solution Solved by Archangel1994,

AX760

 

Well, how much are you looking to spend?

AX 760, for a system that will consume about 300W AT THE VERY MAX in semi-normal situations?

 

If you plan to 2 way SLI: EVGA G2 750W

If you plan to 2 way CF: EVGA G2 850W

If you do not plan to SLI or CF: CS550M is a very solid choice.

Hey guys,

I'm building a PC and I need a PSU for my last major component. I will be adding more stuff so something in the 550W-600W is good, preferably fully modular and silent operation like the Seasonic G series. I don't quite know what I want this PC to be int he long run, I would like a PSU that can survive through multiple upgrades and maybe even SLI if I ever do that after getting a new motherboard + another GPU. I just don't know what OEMS aside from Seasonic are good, so I'm open to suggestions. :)

 

My current setup: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/yv6Bzy

 

Edit: I would like to keep the cost under $150 CAD, even lower is better.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

superflower leadex gold, EVGA 750G2, XFX XTR to name but a few. personally if you can get it i would go for the superflower, but it is very difficult to get a hold of outside the UK I have heard, but I may be wrong.

If I remember correctly, Seasonic's are the highest rated (customer rating at least) on most websites. That's why I got mine. I don't pull much on it, but I dont think I've ever even heard it, judging by the packaging, it's a very good quality product.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
