[Anbutic]

hi, i am new into this community, so i plan on build a new rig next month, i just need to find the best psu to power up, because i don't want to over spend.

 

basically, i need to power the following:

 

1) Core i7 4790k - 4Ghz

2) Asus Z97 Saber tooth Mark 1

3) Asus GTX 970

4) seagate barracuda 3-tb

5) G.skill ripjaw x 1600 (16gb)

 

casing would be HAF 935...

 

your help would be greatly appreciated!!

550W Will be fine.

Get an RM-series from Corsair or a V-series from CoolerMaster

[alby800]

A decent 650w would be plenty, possibly even overkill, I would go for a 650 watt, 80+ gold from either EVGA, seasonic, Coolermaster, Antec, Corsair, superflower, pretty much any well known brand, I would also go for at least semi-modular.

[MeltingPoint]

A good 500W unit should suffice. Corsair, evga, seasonic, silverstone, coolermaster (v-series only)

[SeanAngelo]

evga 650w

[RobseRob]

I'm not exactly an expert on PSU's, but if you don't intend to add a second graphics card in the future then a basic good quality 500W PSU would be sufficient.

[Guest Philosophy]

Anywhere from 530-600 Watt, 80+ Bronze or higher, reputable company if it meets all those it ought to be decent. I personally like, Corsair, EVGA and Seasonic.I also prefer modular cables although it is not a must.

thanks guys!, i knew it, that a 500W ~ 650W is sufficient enough or overly sufficient, because when i went to the computer shop the other day to source the pricing of the parts i needed, the shop staff was saying that i should get a Corsair RM 850W or CM V850W, so i kept thinking should i actually get it.

 

once again thank you!.

He isnt aware how efficient the gtx 900 series gpus are OR most likely he just wants you to shell out more money.

Don't get a Corsair RM. You can get better for the same/less money.

 

Do you plan on adding a 2nd GTX 970 in the future ?

 

What is your budget/location ?

This is slightly off topic, but why a Sabertooth and not a Gryphon? You won't be doing any 3-way SLi on the Sabertooth anyway, and the Gryphon has 6 SATA-3 ports instead of the evolutionary dead-end SATA Express + 4 SATA-3 ports of the Sabertooth. (Which still can be used as 6 SATA-3 ports, but still) They have the same warranty and the Gryphon is a lot cheaper.

 

Only advantage to the Sabertooth I see is an extra Gb LAN port, but it's Realtek anyway.

 

Just curious.

Oh okay. The Sabertooth is still worth the money IMO if you can't get the Gryphon.
