Hi All

 

I am currently in the market for a new PSU as my current one is making popping noises when connected to power and sometimes momentarily shuts my PC down when I boot it up (does this sound bad?) :(

 

My specs are as follows:

 

i5 8600k @4.8Ghz

8GB DDR4 @3200Mhz

GTX 1070 (Around stock OC) 

1x SSD

1x HDD

 

What power supply would you recommend for my system at the moment, im guessing around 650W? (I'm UK based with a budget of around £80-£100 - $105USD- $132USD)

This guy is good, if you want 650w it's 10 quid extra but you don't really need it.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

People are going to say 650-750W is too much, and they are probably right, but these are good units:

 

EVGA and seasonic units have a 12 year warranty

No I don't think the 8600K is a good purchase, considering how expensive a 8600K build is, why not go 8700K?

This is not a new build, I got the 8600k when it came out...

Go to PSU for pretty much any build i configure as long as the budget fits.

 

This thing will suit you nicely

Seasonic Focud Gold.

 

The corsair one isnt even modular. Corsair make great low budget PSUs. But at this pricepoint Seasonic takes the crown
