Choosing PSU

[lolgame123]

I'm building new pc and originally I wanted to use evga 500w 80+ PSU but in my country it's kinda hard to find it so I thought about alternative. And since I don't know much about PSU I wanted to ask you for advice.

any seasonic, XFX unit should be good (avoid XT units from XFX)

[jrmbruinsfan]

It isn't too important for the brand IMO. As long as it has enough wattage, and isn't a super suspicion brand that is likely to break, you should be fine. I actually just received my order or that PSU yesterday. 80+ bronze, gold, etc. is not necessary but still nice and useful. Platinum is overkill IMO.doesnt need to be modular unless you have the money.

Can you provide a link to the store you are able to buy from? As well as your budget? This way we don't have to blindly recommend something that may very well be over your budget or not available to you.

VS series?

 

The new grey CX *50M series are solid quality.

cx-m is good quality now, but still, not the best for what they charge you for.

 

vs?

never heard of that

The CX450M and CX650M are going for $50 with MIR. That's pretty cheap for a decent quality 650W PSU.

 

VS series are rubbish, arguably worse than the green CXs.

Seasonic M12II series is one of the best. Good thing I found one in my country.

Not really. I'd have a CX500M over an EVGA 500B any fucking day of the week, even if the CX500M is only a bit better.

Can you answer my question?

"Can you provide a link to the store you are able to buy from? As well as your budget? This way we don't have to blindly recommend something that may very well be over your budget or not available to you."

Go with whatever your heart tells you. I went with a silencer mk iii even though that company is out of business by the time i bought it, yet im so happy i did?

 

Everyone on the forum told me not to get it but i did anyways because i did my own research and found out that model is one of the few psu with fans that only run up at 500 watts. So do your own Review research and choose accordingly to what you want, even if it may not be the best but its your pick and thats better than any recommendation.

That's ok. I'd helped people from many foreign country, in which I had been provided with links to sites of which I can't understand. For example, I was able to navigate this site to provide a recommendation.

 

As long as I can identify the model and there's a price, I should be able to recommend something to you. I just need the link and budget so I know what is available to you and for what price.

At that price point, the Seasonic S12II-B 520, XFX TS 550 Bronze (same GB platform as the Seasonic) and the Fractal Design Integra M 550w for semi-modularity and DC-DC for better voltage stability.

 

The Fractal Design is a little over your budget.
