Finding the Right Power Supply

Hi everyone. I've visited again because of my broken P600-ACX 600W PSU. I am going to buy a new one but I want EVGA brand. But If you have any other suggestions or advice on what to pick please tell me and let me know why is it the best for my computer. My specs are:

  H110M-D (DDR4)
• RAM
  Hyper X Fury 8GB DDR4
• GPU
  NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1050Ti 4GB
• Storage

• PSU
  ?
• Keyboard
  Dragon War
• Mouse
  Razor
• Sound
  Cobra Gaming Headset
• Operating System
  Windows 7 Professional 64bit 60Hz

- Corsair CXM (GREY LOGO, NOT GREEN)

- Seasonic S12II/M12II

- EVGA G2 if available

 

All solid, very efficient PSUs with good components and warranties.

Get one from tier 2/3 in this case. Of course tier 1 is the best.

Thanks for the list. But I am running out of option here in my place and there was no brands that are available here. My Dad bought me an atx 800W Powe Logic PSU. And I have a problem again, I am not sure if the 6pin can be going to my 4pin cpu power connector. Plus Even If I wanted to do that It can't reach to the connector because of the wire is too short. Is there anyway I can make it reach?

That PSU sounds like a complete bomb, don't.

Can you link me to a store?

I understand that your father had bought you a new PSU; however, you can't simply just buy any PSU and expect it to work. There are PSUs out there that may follow a different standard than what it is today and should not be used in a modern day setup, as well as units with a wider range of quality and electrical specs in which some unit that may be rated for "800w" are falsely advertised where they can't deliver what it is rated for while being within ATX specification and/or without being a fire hazard.

 

I would suggest telling your father to return that PSU, and buy a proper, known quality PSU. If the store you are buying from has a website, it would be helpful if you provide a link to it so we can know what is available to you.

 

Also, you can't and should not plugged in the 6pin connector in the 4pin connector on your motherboard. That 6 pin connector is meant for your GPU.

Wow thank you for giving me so much information. Yeah your

right this PSU is just a waste even if it says it has 800w still it's not true. But Holy cow I have been trying to reach the connector for like hours but still it's not reaching. This PSU didn't even have a 4pin cpu connector what a waste for my 45dollar. The store is called EDS. Btw I am a filipino and still learning about computers especially power supply so I really appreciate for all of your reply.
