Hey,

I got one question, which PSU (mid range) will u recommend for my system, which is:


CPU: Intel Core I5 4460

MB: Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3

RAM: 16 GB Corsair Balistix (8.8.8.24)

GPU: R9 390 8GB

Storage: Intel 520 - 180GB, 2x Segate 1T - RAID

Display: 2x Philips Briliance 240W

Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Limited edition

Currently I have 700W some ACE Power unit which under GPU full load starts acting weird (loud and some clicking noise).

 

Thanks

I'd say any corsair, silverstone 600w-800w just pick your price. If you be a bit more specific on price i could suggest a specific model 

CPU: Intel i7-4790K @ stock for now --- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb --- MOBO: Asus Maximus VII Formula --- GPU: MSI Gaming GTX 980ti --- PSU: Corsair AX860i  ---  Storage: Samsung 850 250gb(OS), 3x Western Digital Blue 3tb (one for game and programs, two for media), 3tb WD Green(somewhat backup) and a Crucial M550 120gb SSD (caching games and programs drive)  --- Case: Fractal Define R5 --- Cooler: Corsair H100i with Noctua 2000rpm, Industrial Fans --- OS: Windows 10 --- Monitor: Asus PB298q + AOC l2260SWD --- Mouse: Logitech G502 Spectrum --- Keyboard: Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Red) Red LED's --- Audio: Audio Engine A2's (yes the originals), Sennheiser HD 58x Jubilee Audio-Technica ATH-AD900x, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Ant Lion Mod Mic V4 --- Laptop: Dell XPS 9750

Ideally, a EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2. That's as good as you're going to get in terms of quality at a fair price.

 

Cheaper alternatives include any 600W SeaSonic or XFX PSU or the Antec HCG 620/M.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

If he want´s to save abit, he can go with the 650 GQ. Only real difference between the two is that the GQ is only semi modular.

Thanks for replays, price range for PSU 80-130 € / $90-145.

Well cheapest price in my home country for EVGA SuperNova 650 G2 - 120€/$133,  Antec HCG750M - 130€/$145 and Corsair CS650M - 117€/$130

I am kinda interested in Corsair RM650i  - 152€/$170 (yea I know it is out of my price range, just everyone praise for that PSU, and I don't know if is worth?)

The Corsair RM650i isn't worth an extra 32 Euro's over the EVGA G2.

If the Corsair link feature interest you, then RMi would be ideal as they are C Link enable and they are solid units. Otherwise, you should look into the RMx series. It's the RMi version minus Corsair Link.

Thanks Joseph I found RM650x in one of our stores, that link feature RMi I don't need I have UPS connected via USB to the computer, so UPS software tell me the consumption. But have one question for you, in that store I found 3 different RM series of corsair PSUs RMi, RMx & RM (I know what is the difference between RMx&RMi) but what is the third just mark as RM (yellowish sticker)?
