What PSU to buy?

Hello
 

I need a good PSU for i5 6600k and GTX 1070 system.

 

Thanks

EVGA G2 550w

 

Corsair RMx 550w

Budget? Stores you can buy from (links)? System Specs?

Is there any difference?

I personally prefer the EVGA G2.

 

But they are both very good. Both on the tier 1 list.

-100€, any store in Germany, (16gb HyperX FURY, Asus z170-A, Samsung 850 EVO 256gb).

Corsair RMx is quieter, EVGA G2 has marginally better electrical performance.

More or less yes.

EVGA or seasonic, 500-600W

Seasonic is like 20€ more expensive.

It's a matter of which specific model you are talking about; however, I wouldn't just get any EVGA / Seasonic unit.

It seem that in Germany the 550G2 is a little over €100: http://geizhals.eu/evga-supernova-g2-650-650w-atx-2-3-220-g2-0650-y3-a1284030.html

While the Corsair RM550x is €90. http://geizhals.eu/corsair-rmx-series-rm550x-550w-atx-2-4-cp-9020090-eu-a1331023.html

 

I would get the Corsair RM550x as it offer comparable performance, a 10 year warranty (the lower wattage G2 are 7 years - not 10 years like the 750+ models), and a more quiet operation for less money. Also, since Corsair has their own standardized pin-out, if you ever replace your PSU with another Corsair for whatever reason (or just have a spare for troubleshooting), the cables would still work

Your link to the EVGA G2 is a 650w version.

I think that I will get Corsair RM550x.

Thanks guys

Yes EVGA G2 650 vs. 650 Watt Seasonic X-Series.

That's odd. I guess I had an old search instance on the 650G2, as my recent search history shows the 550w model. lol  I still would recommend the Corsair RM550x, as it is still cheaper than the 550wG2 € 5 cheaper. http://geizhals.eu/evga-supernova-g2-550-550w-atx-2-3-220-g2-0550-y3-a1297440.html

 

Either one would be fine though.

pretty much any seasonic and most of evga as listed above, you can get a 10 warranty with evga, a whole decade. only a few companies manufacture psu's most are rebranded.
