EVGA Supernova 650W G1 any goo?

[zane1214]

Ok so am making a new gaming rig and have been told my PSU is, well crap!  its a "Artic Red+ 750w (this it here) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Artic-Power-Supply-Featuring-Floppy/dp/B009S9EU3M. After getting my R9 290 Tri-x and running it in my current crappy build the Artic relly is crappy.

 

So my question is, is the EVGA Supernova 650W G1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Power-Supply/dp/B00LMAUZ6G/ref=sr_1_1/278-3368577-0049033?ie=UTF8&qid=1447381412&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA+220-GS-0650-V1 actually any good? Or is there something else I should look for?

My planned build will be

 

i5 4690k (may be OC not sure yet)

 

MSI Z97S

 

Radeon Tri-X R9 290

 

SSD (OS only)

 

 

1T Sata (7200 or higher)

 

Corsair H100i GTX

 

and i think thats about all that will zap power to be honest

The G1 is extremely poor value. The GS/B2/G2/GQ are far better value as is the Antec High Current gamer and anything from Seasonic.

Get a g2 650w

bofff...the g1 is an fsp built unit with cheaper parts inside...depending on the price it's fine to use and should do you good but quite often the G2 line which is superflower built premium units arent that much more and will offer better value in the long run they last longer and are covered by a full 10 years warranty. it's worth it.
