Need advice about PSU

[sdrako]

Hi guys, before I posted about my problems with my PC. I think it's the PSU causing all my problems.

So I will reclaim the warranty of my EVGA NEX650G but only when I can travel back to USA. For now I need to order a new one and I was thinking in this one but I found in newegg the 650W version cheaper. The 750W version listed is the Black Edition, it's worth going to the most expensive? 650W it`s all I need tu run my build to be honest, but the headroom of 100 watts more it's tempting me. Also any other recomendation my budget limit is US$150, preferly less than US$100.

SPECS

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7

CPU: i5 4690k

Cooler: Cooler Master 212 evo

Ram: 2 x 8 G.Skill Ripjaws 1866

Graphic card: Gigabyte gtx 970

SSD: Crucial mx100

HDD: Seagate 2TB

You won't need more than a 500W PSU to run that PC with an overclocked GTX 970. I recommend the EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2. Much better than its G1/NEX counterpart.

550W is more then enough

[sdrako]

Strange, when I was planning this build calculate that it would need 600 watts using the pcpicker calculator. But  you're rigth I only need 500 watts.

I know EVGA it's a good brand, but with a unit that fail at one year of use I feel like I wanna try other option. There's one thing tha can make I change my mind, the warranty process, if they have a good customer service I can stick with then, but again as I say in my firts post, I don`t live in USA and maybe can travel at July. I don`t know order the XFX or EVGA? Have the same price both. What would you do, guys?

One more thing, if my math are rigth with 550 watts is enough to anothet gtx 970?

XFX is good. For a second 970, I would recommend 650W. And pick a unit with enough PCIe power connectors.

EVGA has the best warranty system of any PC parts company period. You're not going to do better than them unless the place that the PSU needs to be sent back to is near you and the vast majority of the time it's going to be to America. Sorry

 

That said, the EVGA 650W GQ is often under 70 USD as well as the 750W B2 (both overkill on wattage but that's what they sell) and should be better than your old NEX.
