Need help to choose a psu

[Chris Blackwing]

So m building a rig and dont have much experience with the psu part, trying to make it look good so i was going for a modular psu,

The specs are :- https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hBpxWX

Also i do plan to upgrade the gpu in the future (swap it out with a different one after 2-3 years).

.Itll be used for gaming, recording/streaming, editing(Mainly Vegas Pro and Photoshop).

So wht i wanna know is, is the power supply that i chose good enough, as i did see some ppl online blasting the Corsair CXM series for being bad for gaming rigs.

Also if someone would like to suggest something else in the similar budget range(dont care if its modular at this point, will just spary paint it with plasti dip and make it work, do have experience with spray painting psu wires, gpu's, ram's n pc cases so shouldnt be a problem).

 

P.S.Had a strict budget of $1300 so m already going $33 higher might not be able to go any higher than that. 

 

Thnx in advance                  

                                                                

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         -Chris

The older corsair CX with the green labels had mediocre chinese/taiwan capacitators that could only hold full power at 30 degrees celsius, so apparently some people decided to throw shit at the CX because of that even though it was marked as an entry-level psu(which it was perfectly fine as). The newer CX with the grey labels have much better quality and are perfectly fine for most gaming rigs.

Which choices do you have? See if the seasonic s/m12ii/ECO, antec HCG, XFX ts or corsair cx450/550m are avaliable, they're all good budget choices.

Yeah if you can get a m12ii or a s12ii from seasonic you should be good. Just pick the wattage you need.

i was thinking maybe this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Mp2rxr/deepcool-power-supply-dq550st

Also how abt the VS series from corsair ? i can get a VS650 for abt the same cost.

 

Also the seasonic s12ii 520w fits really well in my budget so if u think its going to cut it ill go with that.

The Deepcool is decent enough... personally would get something like the Seasonic S12II or Corsair CX450M/550M simply because they're more established and reputable brands within the PSU world.

 

But the Corsair VS series sucks. I wouldn't get it.

That unit is tier 3, it's decent enough.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/N6X2FT/evga-power-supply-220gs0550v1

Fits in my budget, satisfies my systems 321W need is a gold + and is fully modular.

So how abt it ?

Yes, definitely. It's a pretty good tier 2 psu.
