PSU for GTX1080 & i7-6700k

[Chris423]

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a good & silent PSU for my upcoming PC. It has to power a GTX 1080 & a i7-6700k so I'm looking for a PSU at about 500 Watts.

I have my eyes on these:

 

EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2

Enermax Platimax D.F. 500W

be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 550W

Corsair RMx 550x

 

Wich one would you choose? And why?

The EVGA G2 550w.

The Platimax D.F may be an option if you are interested in the individually sleeved cables. Otherwise, I take a past on it (and even if you are interested in it, the premium you are paying for it, you may as well spend slightly more for a CableMod solution with another PSU).

The Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 11 is a good unit that's very quiet; however, there's a large premium you are paying by getting it - making it a poor value solution.

The Corsair RM550x and EVGA 550w G2 are comparable high-end units at a very affordable price, where the RMx is quieter solution, with a longer 10 year warranty, and mostly standardized connection on the modular interface where the cables could work with Corsair other PSUs.

 

Personally, I go for the RM550x, but if you can get the EVGA G2 for a bit cheaper, it's an excellent choice as well.
