Is this power supply good?

[RobertElkHunter]

Hello LinusTechTips,

 

I have a computer that keeps restarting itself. My friend said it was the PSU. I am looking at buying http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6 is that good?

 

My current system has these http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZB8TLk

 

Thank,

Yeah, that's a pretty good PSU.

OEM'd by Super Flower so nothing to worry about.

 

Your friend know about this forum by any chance?

Yes, that PSU is very good

First off, welcome to the forums! Second, follow your own topic! And third, wrong subforum!

 

Anyways, the EVGA B2 is really, really good and far better than your CX500 now. The Antec High Current Gamer and EVGA GS/G2 are also good options if they're in your price range and you want a modular PSU.

Is the Antect one or G2 better? Should I get one of those instead?

I'll have to ask him next I see him.

What is your budget? The Antec is technically worse but I was just throwing out options

 

The G2 is better because it's quieter and has better efficiency (not that important, don't worry about it) as is the GS. The B2 is still a great PSU but a bit louder (no cool fan curve like the GS/G2) and the cables are kinda ugly.

My budget is 100 dollars. I will look at the G2 and see if I can afford it.

G2 750W was in the $110~ price bracket last time I checked, the 650 G2 and Gs however were $99.99 and $94.99 respectively.

Alrighty, good luck!

Is 650 enough? My friend reccomended 750.

For that build 750 is overkill and 650 might be too you could make do with 550 but the lowest I'd recommend is 650.

I would use a mega for an avvy but @Rumikarimu gave this avvy to me as a giveaway so I would have to pay for another that would look the same and I have no moneys now...
