PSU sweet spot

[pix-]

Hei,

 

For 5960x - 5930k, aio cooling,2 ssd, 1hdd, 2 gtx 980ti what PSU is the best ?

 

And please dont recommend  AX1200i, P2 1000w, Seasonic Platinum 1000w. I know those are good, but to expensive for a PSU.

 

Maybe something on 850w ? Evga g2 for example ?

 

Thank you,

everything over 1000W is overkill, 850W is plenty

Corsair AX860i or RM850 is good imo

[ImBleu]

My AX760 is more than enough for my OCed 4790k, 3 Mechanical Hard Drives, 2 SSDs, a Custom loop and 2 GTX980s. An AX860 / AX860i / HX1000i / RM850 should do fine.

So if 850w is plenty, AX860i or RM850 is better than Evga 850w G2 ?

 

In my area, AX860i is just $20 less than Evga 1000w P2.

 

So corsair is just better or is just corsair ? I just want a good psu without paying for marketing.

Sorry misread the OP.  850 should be plenty.

AX860i is way overpriced because of the built-in voltage sensors.  All they allow you to do is let you view the volts, watts, amps, temp in the corsair link program.  Not very useful imo.  The HX850i is literally the same exact power supply, but with fewer sensors, and the AX860 is also basically the same thing, but no sensors for the monitoring software.  If you wanted Corsair get the AX860 since you aren't paying for the premium of the software, which is useless to 99% of people, and you still get the 80+ Platinum certification.

 

I still think the EVGA power supply is very high quality and the better bang for the buck, but if you want the absolute best the Corsair won't let you down.

Ok then, i am happy with your answers.

 

Thank you very much

750-850would be enough

[KWelz]

An AX860 would be enough even if you went SLI.

EVGA G2 > AXi in price. Don't get Corsair, they are almost always ridiculously overpriced.
