Psu recommendation please help!

[getrekt]

RM vs AX

Which is better?

5820k plus 980 and overclocking headroom

Which psu and wattage?

Also please recommend from corsair or cooler master only (only brands with good service in my country)

[Enderman]

AX, but its obviously going to be more expensive.

a 750W PSU is more than enough for that build, you could add a second or third 980 if you wanted

[Cactu]

600 to 750w I reccomend corsair cx or cs series but there are others out there, evga makes some good and some bad but my knowledge doesn't extend that far

[C_Mike]

550-750 should be plenty, higher part of that range if you plan to SLI. 

 

The RM series are a great choice.

 

When it comes to PSUs I always look for the cheapest one I can find at the Time, from a well known and well rated brand, with at least an 80Plus Efficiency rating.

 

And if you've got a case on the smaller side, get Semi or Fully modular.

AX better, but more expensive. RM honestly isn't all that great. They're above average, but there are many that perform equal or better from better OEMs at lower prices.

 

Unless you plan on SLI, anything over 600W is enough for you. Cooler Master VSM Series is good.  Check out the VSM650, VSM750, or V850 models. 650 and 750 are semi-modular, and 850 is fully modular. And they're all made by Seasonic. Though without knowing your country, I can't comment on price.

 

What country are you in that you only get good service from Corsair and Cooler Master? Those two make great PSUs, but if you're limited to those 2 brands, =(.

I'm ready to spend more on the psu as it could kill all my components

What about the AX series?

[Splashzed]

Get a 700/750w power supply, you'll be good to go

Corsair cooler Master and I guess seasonic to an extent

Btw I live in India where everything is atleast 20% more expensive and 100% worse after sales service!! ( 5820k costs 500$)

So ax or v series is my best bet?

Which brand and model?

Budget?

[getrekt]

Budget?

Well psu doesn't have any budget but don't go too overboard as I would like my components to not fry!

Can you provide a link to the store you are buying from? This way we know what's available to your at what price.

 

Do you plan to SLI, btw?

Well, the majority of the unit I had clicked on is out of stock...

 

A quality 550w can power your system. Something like the Antec True Power Classic 550w (Seasonic G / S12G unit internally) for example. But that seem to be out of stock. You can get the 650w variant for 700 INR / ~$11 USD more though: http://www.primeabgb.com/antec-truepower-classic-series-tp-650c-power-supply.html

The Antec VP650PM may be an option as well but has a shorter 2 year warranty : http://www.primeabgb.com/antec-vp650pm-650w-power-supply.html

Here's a review of the non-modular VP550P: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Antec/VP550P/2.html

 

A strictly Corsair or Cooler Master recommendation would be:

The Corsair CS650M: http://www.primeabgb.com/corsair-cs-series-modular-cs650m-650w-power-supply.html

It's not build as well as the Antec TPC, but it does offer modularity and will power your system.

 

The RM650: http://www.primeabgb.com/corsair-rm-series-rm650-650w-modular-power-supply.html

Likewise with the CS650M, it's not build as well as the TPC, but it does offer full modularity as well as a quieter operation.

 

Everything else is either out of stock, not very good, or I'm overlooking something.

Just get the cm g750m or a good corsair power supply

Thanks! I was looking at more expensive options like the hx and ax and V series

But looks like the others are great too!

Don't worry about the out of stock thing

IF you can visit it's normally in stock they are just lazy!
