Best power supply

[Perismaz]

Hey guys. I wanna build a gaming pc with a 7600K  ( or a ryzen 1600 ) and a gtx 1070. What psu should I pick for that? Always 80plus gold efficiency and I would prefer to belong in tier 1 psu. Also i don't want to be overkill so 750-850 watt are certainly out of the equation. Cm calculator said that my system would need around 379 watts so I should pick one 450 watts psu. And I can't make my mind around it. Any answers would be appreciated

EVGA G2/G3 550W/650W the best value (depends on where you live)
Or Bitfenix Whisper M
Or Corsair RMx
Or any other PSU from tier 1:

Tier 2 also fine, why must it be tier 1?

Got my EVGA Supernova P2 750w psu on sale on Amazon, you might find a nice 550w G2 or G3 on sale.

something you could consider is that (especially with the RMx series) if you go overkill on the power supply, your power supply can run fanless in most if not all workloads.

The EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3 is usually a good, fairly inexpensive choice.

 

And yeah, get the R5 1600 over the i5-7600K.

For an R5 1600 and GTX 1070 a Corsair RMx/RMi, EVGA G2/GQ/G3, Seasonic G-series, or Bitfenix Whisper should do fine. I'd personally recommend 550W or greater but 450W would suffice with overclocking.
