Looking for a PSU recommendation..

[AGreyFox]

I've been going back and forth on which psu to go with to renew my current rig. I'm adding in a Samsung 840 pro, Define R4 Windowed Titanium. When I first built my rig a year ago I got a Kingwin 850 power supply through a work program for free. Its way too much for my current needs (power wise) but also its more of a aesthetics problem(not modular). I think Im fairly safe downgrading the number of Watts.

 

Rig Specs: I haven't overclocked anything

i7 3930k liquid cooled with an Antec Kuhlar h20 620

BIOSTAR X79 

GTX 670 

8gb Ram

 

So I'm looking for peoples input on silent psu that is modular, 80+ gold with not bad sleeving. Currently, my top two choices are :

 

Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 550W

OR

Something from Seasonic G or X series 550W

 

Since I am from Canada the Be Quiet psu's are a bit over priced.. 

 

Thanks for your future suggestions! :)

I would discourage going with an EVGA power supply,I've seen quite a few people complain about them being incompatible with certain motherboards (which is unheard of for a power supply).

 

I'd go with the seasonic because the be quiet seems to be $40 more.

Welcome to this Hive of Pc builders , but to the point this should have been placed in the power supply section of the forum , but alas their always being lost then found. Shockingly I found this in the found but lost department

The SeaSonic SSR-550RM would be a good choice here.  Or the X750 if you want to be capable of SLI.
