750W PSU

[orcinhell]

Hi guys.

 

So I recently purchased a PSU for myself after recommendations and learning a bit about them I went with the Cool Master V450S which is plenty for me. That said my brothers kids PSU just bombed. He wanted me to buy a PSU and install it for him. I was thinking about the cool master V750S as I am more then happy with mine but wanted to get peoples opinions as I have only had mine for 2 weeks and I always make triple sure about products before spending other peoples money.

 

The reason I went with 750 is the kid doesn't mind throwing money at his rig, he is 15 and already has a 980 in there from working (good on him I say) and is thinking about a second one. He is however not strictly a Nvidia fan so I wanted to give him enough grunt for switching in the future. Modular or semi modular does not bother him. He wants a solid PSU without playing though the nose for features he never will use.

 

He was thinking of the corsair RM 750 but I have seen on some sites that they say steer clear of that PSU for different reasons. what do you guys think is the Cool Master V750 a good choice? While I am open to suggestions of course nothing over 200 AUD (156 USD).

 

Thanks

Another great PSU is the evga supernova g2 750 watt. Here in the States it costs a little over 115 bucks, but fluctuates a lot. It has a 10 year warranty and I will link you to a review in a bit..

Thanks, Ill defiantly have a look. I think what Ill do is give him a few choices and he can choose based on what he likes.

There is also seasonic psu's, xfx psu's and evga gs series. Avoid the corsair. They are usually overpriced for what you get.

Sorry for so many posts, but here is a list that breaks down psu's by tier. Tier 1 (best) tier 5 (avoid entirely)
