I think the tier 1 requirement was performance equal to the G2. IIRC, that's <1% regulation and <~25mV ripple on 12V, a non sleeve bearing fan, (mostly) working protections, and decent components. 

Interesting where can I see more?

Plan was 1400$ at start.. but now its around 1800-1900$ (not a problem)

what what are you going to use your PC for?

Hmm.. you right, even in 5 year 40$ doesn't pay back..

Got my aye also on EVGA supernova G3 maybe it's better than Straight Power 11?

The G3 is just loud and single rail. The Straight Power 11 is much preferred, imo.

Doh will use it to look at Cat videos <3 Gaming etc.. Daily use all in one  1440p 144hz Screen also so.. it's needs good GPU

And we all know GPU crazy prices nowdays... /cry Dum Dum BitSeitCoins

You'll either have to ask @STRMfrmXMN or look at the other 175 pages of replies.

Yeah I was seeing that straight power is 11 really good

supernova 550 G2  is better than G3?

same as Pure power 10 is better than Straight Power 11? that i was looking at? (doubt that) 

PC spec was those that i mentioned before =) so i need around ~500W (atleat that's what people said) <3

The G2 is slightly less loud than the G2, I think. 

For a 1080 system, you're looking at less than 300W. Anyone that has said that you need 500W has absolutely no clue about what they're talking about.

why LTT states that 450W mininum is recommended for a GTX 1080

 

and how to calculate power draw without overestimating or underestimating

they said 450-550 (even pointed at 450 better)

So what parts do you plan to use?

[Heartlesss]

PSU - Straight Power 11 | 550W

Motherboard - Asrock Z370 Extreme4

Processor - Intel Core i5-8600K 95W 

CPU Cooler - Be Quiet Dark Rock 4

Memory - Corsair Vengeance DDR4, 2x8 16GB, 3000MHz

Graphics Card - Asus GeForce GTX 1080, 8GB, ROG Strix

SDD - Crucial MX500, 250GB

HDD - Seagate 2TB, 7200rpm, 64MB

I thought parts were cheaper

 

For PSUs I think there are better choices for that budget like the ones I listed above

 

And we can go with a cheaper cooler, 8GB of RAM and get a 1080 ti instead

[Heartlesss]

1080ti here cost 300$ more than 1080

nvm seems price have dropped from 1200 to 850ish..

How much is the power supply?

115$

ill be happy with normal 1080 coming from gtx 660 lol

[17030644]

TX650M $95

These are better for the money

Better how? they all are from tier #1 list

(Cheaper only)?

Is it worth going Platinum instead of Gold? for ~40$? Looking at Be quiet! PSU's.. PC will be running 8-14 hours daily..

Maybe there are even better PSU's? Around 100-160$ price.

Depends if you want the extra connections or not.

The differences between those two isn't just the efficiency...

With the Dark Power Pro you get more Drive connectors (5 are possible vs. Three), more PCIe connectors, the 550W P11 has 4, the E11 has only 2 (AFAIR) and AFAIR two CPU cable or at least they are possible.

 

Decide if the other stuff is worth it, not (just) the efficiency.

Since you already looked at be quiet, I'd think you want a rather quiet PSU, don't you?

Except for the RM550X the rest is not something for you, the TX is rather loud with ~900rpm under no load situations.

Generally i wan't "the best"  i personally don't know witch one would be "best" out of all of them psu..

Anyways GPU CPU fans are much louder anyways than most psu i bet..

Than get the Dark Power Pro.

It is the best in terms of features and things in the box.

For example you have a fan controller for the fans in your case, many connections you can use.

no

Especially CPU Fans aren't that loud these days.

And Graphics cards have Semi Fanless Modes for low load scenarios.

 

So at least under lower loads you can have a really quiet System.

Under full load there are still some PSU that are louder than the rest...

Are be quiet actually quiet? I thought it was just marketing

Yes they are.

Their fans are quite good and don't have much Motor or Bearing Noise.

And the min fan RPM of the Straight Power E11 is around 250rpm.

 

There isn't much competition. Well, at least not one they didn't do themselves -> Xilence Performance X.

But that's a difference price range.
