COUGAR gaming GX-S 750W

That one is a decent choice. Cheapish 80plus Gold with DC-DC. And working Protection, OCP on all Rails and AFAIR also OTP.

 

 

But why 750W??I 

 

For a System with one CPU and GPU, get the 550W Version.

I have the 650W GX-S Myself, it's rather quiet for what you get...

Though inrush current is on the high side...

thank you

The Pro XXX version (is it really triple X...?) is better if I recall correctly.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

XFX 750W XXX Edition 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular Power Supply

 

They're both nice, no doubt. They'd both work great. However, I'd pick this one as it's as least partially Modular. With this one, you can pick and choose (mostly) how many cables you want running inside your case.

 

On the flip side, if you don't really give a damn about cable management, or have a case that hides the entire power supply underneath of a shield/shroud anyways, go with the XFX TS Series P1-750G-TS3X 750W.

The XFX XXX Bronze is based on the same platform as the higher wattage Seasonic M12IIs, and the XFX TS Gold is based on the same platform as the Seasonic G-series. They're both DC-DC regulated, so they're both decent, but the XFX TS Gold has an LLC resonant topology whereas the XFX XXX Bronze has a double forward design.

 

So from a technical standpoint, the XFX TS Gold is the better of the two.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Integra M should be a good PSU for most of the stuff. Have only used and investigated that one. Recently used it with 1070 and R5 1600, no problems whatsoever. Can't comment on others. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Planing new build in February or march whit 1080 ti and i7 8700k but need PSU for current build.

And your current build is what??

 

For that you might want a 550W but higher quality instead.

For the same amount of money you could get a 550W higher end Gold unit with decent fan and longer warranty...

It's good, but you still don't need 750W. Just get the 550W variant and you'll be fine.

Ähm, what do you want with 750W?!
Neither system uses that much...

For the rig you have now a decent quality 300-350W would be more than fine.

 

And for the upcoming, without OC a 400-450W is fine, so all you want, need is 550W. You don't need a 750W one.

750W is something you want if you have at least two high end/high power graphics cards.

Such things like AMD R9-290X or 390X, nVidia 780Ti, 980Ti. TWO of those. 

 

For two Raden HD7970GHz Edition/280X a 650W is OK without overclocking.

 

So just the ballpark you're in...

Right now 150W, 200W max.

THen somewhere between 150-300W, maybe 350W. Without OC of course...

No, get a good 550W.

750W is wasted. You don't have any money to waste, so get a good 550W unit, not a so-so 750W.

 

I don't understand why you think that you need a 750W one?
Why do you think that??

As I said, it'll still be good for most of the stuff, haven't checked the others. I'd be surprised if not a single one was better.

However I did not know about the missing protection, good catch.
