Confused....so many PSUs....

So my stupid PSU is broken. I can still send it back and get a refund for it, so that's no issue, but now I want something good. I thought Silverstone was good, but the fan is a piece of.......well you get the picture.

 

It shouldn't exceed the 100€ limit much, something around 600-650W, more is welcome but not necessary, and I really would like some nice looking cables.

 

I was looking at the Silverstone SST-ST65F-G.....but I can't find the version with the nice cables. Only an older one that has all the colors of the rainbow.

 

I was also experiencing restarts with the 500W PSU I have now. Weird, since the maximum power draw I tested with my older 650W never exceeded 470W from the wall with furmark and prime95 runnning....so crazy load. I guess 500W is NOT enough for my system then.

 

So any nice suggestions? I live in Germany and , again, price range around 100€. Less is nice, if you have a suggestion in the close vicinity to 100€ that is really worth paying the few extra bucks, feel free to recommend anyways. I really want something that will last.

A BeQuiet with nice cables would be great.......

500w is enough there is a problem in the system elsewhere

OK i should habe elaborated...the fan is also f***ed in the PSU. So it is still broken. Not saying you are wrong, but the PSU is still going back.

The restarts where only twice, maybe three times in about a month, so nothing too bad.

I meant you are fine getting another 500w PSU :)

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Which one though? There are so many and so many are supposed to be crap, so many are super expensive....isn't there a middle-ground? Super hard to find something since I usually don't care too mcuh for PSUs, meaning I always had BeQuiet and that was great.

The list is alright. I ordered a Silverstone 550w platinum psu now, atx though. The really short kind.

Thanks for your help though.

Right now I do, I want to get something smaller in the near future. Then it will come in handy.

Thanks for the hint. ;-)

I was thinking about an Elite 110 with dust filters (demciflex) and then one of the coming AMD Polaris GPUs for good temps. But I will wait and see what those supposedly cool GPUs really bring to the table.

I thought better a small PSU in a fairly big case now and have the flexibility I need for downsizing.
