Best Brand PSU?

[EpicGeekonFire]

Anyone like have a PSU that they can say worked well and lasted long for about 50-70 bucks? 

Like including PSU's that come with cases and other brands. 

[Sarcasm]

Seasonic M12ii-based 650 watters should be your best choice.

The 2 companies I'd recommend are Corsair and Seasonic. However do you mean an integrated psu?

All of the ones I know of are non modular.

Only a small portion of Corsiars are Seasonic based. Most of theirs are done by CWT.

Seasonic

Whats a good PSu for about 60-70 bucks doesn't have to modular?

You shouldn't base your purchase solely on the brand. Some brands may have some poor / mediocre units mixed in their excellent ones, while others may have very good units that cost too much in comparison to their competitive and is of poor value. In some cases, two units from two different brands may internally the same, but the more highly regarded brand would cost more.

 

Anyways, what are you powering? What's your budget? Where are you buying from?

[brownninja97]

I recommend

xfx(prebadged seasonic psus at a lower price).

seasonic(they are badly priced on the low end)

corsair(not the gs series, ive noticed quite a few complaints about it)

zalman(goldrock only)

Be quiet(for psus under 600w)

Antec( they are tanks)

dell(they make a 430w psu for their xps line, its 80+ gold and sometimes priced quite low, they also have a 300w psu for insprions which is also 80+ gold).

There are more series than that, that isn't made by Seasonic for Corsair (the ones that are made by them and isn't discontinued are AX760/860 and HX650v2). EVGA is either Super Flower, FSP, Etasis, or Enhanced (older 1200w model)

A quality 500w unit can power that. Like S3ns3, I would recommend the Rosewill Capstone 550w. Amazon has it for free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-CAPSTONE-Certified-ATX12V-CAPSTONE-550/dp/B006BCKEL6/

It's based on the Super Flower Golden Green internal unit just like various other units such as the NZXT Hale90v1, Kingwin Lazer Gold, PC Power and Cooling MKIII 750-850w, etc. It's an excellently build power supply that is DC-DC regulated for better voltage stability at larger range of loads than many group-regulated designs in this price point (Corsair CX600, Seasonic S12II/M12II-620, XFX Core Edition 550w, etc). It has updated 7 year warranty as well. It provide excellent value in comparison to many of the other unit in the price range.

 

If you want to go with a more well-known brand... XFX Core Edition 550w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

The entry level EVGA 600B unit may be an option as well with its rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014
