which 650w psu?

[ImNotThere]

so, these are the psus with their respective prices all of which are 650W.

evga supernova G2 - £84.51

corsair rm650x - £84.97

seasonic focus plus 650 gold- £90.46

anything else in this price range? i'll say sub £95

[Oshino Shinobu]

Doesn't really matter, all of them are great. 

 

EDIT: I assume you're going off Amazon prices, through PCPP? It's worth actually looking at Amazon because the G2 is on back order and not available until January and the RMx is £100 if you want it now, the £84.97 one is out of stock. 

 

As such, I'd probably say go with the RMx from ebuyer for £84.99. The G2 is basically out of stock everywhere or over £100

What are you powering?

You'll probably be fine with a good 400W supply, however these are very scars.

 

The 550W versions of those models are probably a better choice. 650W is a strange wattage size; way to much power for a single GPU, and cutting it fine for a dual GPU setup.

I'd just go for RMx. They're all great PSUs but RMx is close to as cheap as the g2 but generally is pretty quiet.

its not for me but rather a client i normally just throw a supernova into it, they are using a r5 1600 and a 1080ti so with ocing in mind, i think 650 is a good pick

Let the man get his 650W...

The RMx is the quietest, and it usually costs more than the others. What's your rig? Odds are, that 450-550W is plenty.

the rig will be an r5 1600 and a 1080ti with full intentions of running the 1600 as close to 4ghz as possible and the 1080ti will be overclocked to its limit

RMx is the quietest of all.

550W is definitely enough, then. RM550x?

the rm550x is only £10 cheaper? is it not worth the extra 10 for 150w more of overhead in case of upgradingto a more power hungry chip?

Do you know if your client will be overclocking? I generally don't recommend OCing client PCs as, if their CMOS resets for whatever reason they lose a lot of performance and ask where it all went and often will try to blame the system builder.

 

For an OC'd hexacore and 1080Tis a 550W PSU would be fine but if you want the peace of mind and can afford it then get the cheapest of those three PSUs in the OP.

i always manually overclock(conservatively) i run prime95 a lot to make sure its stable  they can push it as far as they want after that

 

but yeah, peace of mind and also in case they upgrade to a more power hungry chip i guess

Often compagnie rebrand from seasonic ... I would go for seasonic for personnel experience, solid customer support, great warranty, build quality is excellent... this is my opinion.

I had a RM1000 that stopped working .. corsair never sent RMA stuff... EVGA is good psu also. So ill go for seasonic for my previous experience. If the price is way lower on the EVGA go for it tho because seasonic is often expensive

I bought RM 750x just because it was the most silent PSU in reviews I found  

 

My vote goes for RM

And then there's me who bought an EVGA G1 because "it's 80+ Gold and from a reputable brand" ;_;
