550W Power supply.

Go to solution Solved by MonkeBe,

Okay, i solved it. I found a 550w XFX core edition. Thanks for all of your replies!

Just wait for it to be restocked. The Core edition is probably the best budget PSU you'll get. The corsair supplies that others recommend aren't reliable and they are made by CWT whereas the core edition is made by Seasonic which is much more reliable than CWT.

Is there no other seasonic 500-600w with a similar price?

I think it's pretty much out of stock in the whole of sweden, so it could take weeks for me to get my hands on it. Is there really no other good similar PSU's out there?

Non that I know of. The only budget supply I'd recommend to anyone is the XFX Core edition supplies as other budget supplies are either made by a poor OEM or have a bit of a premium price despite their low tier rating. 

 

What you could do is look at a power supply tier list and start from there. PSU tier list that I use: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?108088-Official-XS-Power-Supply-Ranking-Phase-I

It's a few years old so it's missing a few supplies but it's a pretty decent list. 

 

If you go for something that's tier 3 or lower then see what you can get your hands on and simply search "[product name including wattage] OEM". If it's Seasonic then go for it, if not look for another one. I know it sounds like I'm a massive Seasonic fanboy but you want a reliable OEM to build the supply if you're going for a cheap supply.
