Posted January 1, 2015 @Boyce05 Why do you want 600-700W PSU? RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo) 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2015 A 500 watts psu would already be enough.But here's a decent 600w PSU from EVGA 80+ bronze certified.https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10600kr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2015 R9 280 doesn't need that much current! A SeaSonic SSR-550RM is best for that!

Posted January 1, 2015 "Seasonic S12II Bronze model which is the same design as the Antec Neo ECO"So if the OP wants to save 7 pounds then there is nothing wrong with going with what I recommended.Bottom line is going with Antec is never something I have a problem recommending. I got an Earthwatts psu by them for $49 CA or so some time ago and it is still ticking in an overclocked rig. Too many ****ing games!

Oh, for some reason, I thought you was the OP asking for opinion about that specific unit. But yes, the Antec NeoECO 520C is an decent, entry level PSU. Like you have said it's based on the cut down version of the group-regulated S12II Bronze platform from Seasonic. TBH, spending the extra £7 on the Antec TPC due to DC-DC, Gold efficient, better build quality, and the 5 year warranty is worth going for.

Posted January 1, 2015 I need at least 600 watt because i am planning on overclocking the gpu. I also plan on switching my gpu out eventually for a gtx 970 and i dont want to have to replace my psu aswell My recommendation of the Antec TP-550C is still valid. Especially with the GTX 970 as it has a lower power draw than the 280. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
