Posted July 13, 2018 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 13, 2018 An EVGA G2/Corsair TXM/Seasonic Focus Plus Gold - 450W would be plenty for that system. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it. My system: PCPartPicker || For Corsair support tag @Corsair Josephor @Corsair Nick || My 5MT Legacy GT Wagon || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 13, 2018 This guy is good, if you want 650w it's 10 quid extra but you don't really need it. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/bkp323/seasonic-focus-plus-gold-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-550fx Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied!

Posted July 13, 2018 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 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6p8H99/evga-power-supply-220p20650x1 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pHFXsY/seasonic-prime-platinum-650w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-650pd https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LkM323/corsair-hx-platinum-750w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020137-na No I don't think the 8600K is a good purchase, considering how expensive a 8600K build is, why not go 8700K?

Posted July 13, 2018 Got the options down to two now, which one would you say is best overall? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seasonic-focus-plus-650w-80-plus-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-05q-ss.html https://www.ebuyer.com/782057-corsair-650w-tx650m-gold-hybid-modular-power-supply-psu-cp-9020132-uk?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51482424299&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_7T9muCc3AIVirHtCh30RQpzEAQYAyABEgIxPvD_BwE @STRMfrmXMN @GoldenLag @17030644 Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corsair one isnt even modular. Corsair make great low budget PSUs. But at this pricepoint Seasonic takes the crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
