Which PSU in this build?

Pikennen · April 10, 2015

Hello Everyone

First of all here are my Specs I want to build into my new Computer

http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/HQs6dC

CPU
i7 4790K
Motherboard
Asus Rog VII Ranger
RAM
2x 8GB G.Skill 1.333mhz
GPU
Asus GTX 970 Strix
Case
CMStorm Scout 2 Advanced
Storage
120 GB SSD Kingston / 1TB 3,5" WD
PSU
Techsolo TP-600W
Display(s)
2 Acer 24" LED Full HD
Cooling
ARCTIC Freezer 13
Keyboard
Logitech G710+
Mouse
Logitech G500s
Sound
Onboard
Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit

I choose the i7 4790K over an i5 4690K because I want to record games and stuff like this so this was a better choice from my point of view.

The Motherboard was a tough decision.
In another Thread the MSI Gaming 5 was a favorite but I really want an optical audio port so thats why I placed the RoG Ranger over the MSI one.

The Asus Strix GTX 970 was from the beginning my absolute favorite.

I love the 0DB feature.

So thats why I choose this one over the other brands.

So my last problem is, I have no idea what PSU I should take with this set up

Right now I have a Techsolo TP-600 (I cant find a decent link where you can buy this one)
Partpicker told me I need around 400W so I dont want to take one thats way too Overkill even though they were recommended in my other threads.

Recommended PSU was

But aren't they a bit too much?

I mean if they are really that great and compatible with my build I would buy these but I dont want to spend that much money if I dont need it.

I would love to have a PSU as quiet as possible just like my GTX 970 if that is possible

holy moly... those psu's are wayyy too expensive, if you really need fully modular and 80+ Gold, http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr

edit: i just saw you are using a kingston 120 GB ssd, are you using the V300? because they are very unreliable, i'd go with Crucial BX100 series, i have the 250 GB model and it works great

edit 2: the msi cards also have the 0 DB thing i think, my 960 from msi doesnt turn on until 60 degrees

I will get the evga 750w yes it's overkill for now but it leave room for upgrade later on like another 970 for sli.

prices seem to have gone up, even in usd. those are some of the ones i normally recommend. i found this one, i haven't seen any scope results yet, (haven't looked) but i do trust seasonic,mostly, https://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss750am2

I got the older ones where they used the Toshiba Toggle-NAND and not the ones they are now using..

It runs solid but I would change it into something bitter when I got some more bucks in my pocket ^^

are those PSUs quiet as well?

the one Im using currently is like freaking loud and makes some squeaking noises so that one has to go as fast as possible.

@Pikennen Windows home premium has a memory limit of 16 GB, so you cant upgrade with home premium, if you already have home premium, keep it, otherwise go with any windows 8.1 version, that's a max of 128 gb ram
