Power Supply Recommendations

[aSpoink]

Ok, I know there are posts about good psu and bad ones, and how many watts I need, but I would like a more definite answer. Currently, I am using some goldenfield 600watt psu, and I would like to get a new one that wont fry my system. My current PC specs are in my sig, but I plan on getting an r9 270, 8 more gb of ram, and hopefully a ssd in the future. So Im pretty sure that a 500watt psu should be more than enough. Now can someone recommend psu's  to me? I live in Canada, so please try to post Canadian links, and I would like to try to get a semi-modular psu as my case has no cable management. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this post is kinda long.

Edit: My budget is around $100CAD.

your current one should be fine. You aren't putting any real pressure on it.

 

but brb for options

 

Maybe this one? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-power-supply-rs650amaab1us

use pcpartpicker and find out you need about 100-200 more than you use

I believe there's a 650W EVGA G2 out there, and I don't believe it's over $100USD, so maybe if you're lucky it won't be over $100CAD.

anything xfx or seasonic

most of antec's psus are good

evga b2/g2/gs

corsair ax/axi/hx/hxi but they're pricey and the hx/hxis are made by channel well so take that into consideration

It's 99.99 US so no

Then go outside and mug some kid for a few extra bucks, it's worth it and it won't toast your system.

Would something like this be good? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-bp550plus Its not really the nicest looking thing but eh

My current psu is a good one? So I dont really need to change it?

IDK about it being good... But it looks good enough where it doesn't make sense to change it, especially because you aren't going to be putting a very hard load on it.

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss600et here's a seasonic

Not really, your max load should be around 400W assuming you don't have a weird cooling setup or oc to pro levels, also I threw a seasonic psu up above that's under 100 if you still think you need it

 

I said if your psu is a good btw, I have no idea what you have

Corsair CX850m hands down

 

Great quality Chinese capacitors; comes with an integrated smoke generator too.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I have decided to keep my current psu until it starts to make noise or something like that.

The CX850M has Japanese capacitors and, from what I've read and heard, is quite a bit better than the other CX models, just overpriced.

I've never even heard of Goldenfield

@quan289 can probably give you more info on it.

I've heard of them a few times but never bother looking into them. From what I remember though, they used a mixed of Sunpro (garbage), Huntkey, CWT, and Enhance Electronic
