Can someone recommend me a good PSU for a i5 4690k and a EVGA 1070 FTW. 

Must be fully modular and have two 8 pin connectors for the GPU,

EVGA GS/GQ/G2, 550W is fine.

For $175AUD this one is very good quality

https://www.mwave.com.au/product/corsair-cx850m-850w-80-bronze-modular-power-supply-ab58368?gclid=CjwKEAjw5vu8BRC8rIGNrqbPuSESJADG8RV0Cwr63LH8q_J2edcGeFAngoHxoVFQwXrxyNAm7j-FIxoCsybw_wcB

 

But for $200AUD you can get this one which is 1200W but not as good quality

Both are ridiculously overkill in terms of wattage and both are worse than the ones @STRMfrmXMN said.

That PC with no overclocking could run on a 400W PSU.

550W is twice what that system would use if you overclocked the living shit out of it with liquid nitrogen.

I would really love to see a PC watercooled with liquid nitrogen,to bad it would evaporate before it could even do anything

I'm a educated fool with money on my mind.

They say i got to learn but nobody here to teach me,if they can't understand it how can they reach me

Power and the money,money and the power,minute after minute,hour after hour

My Motivation
