Hello All, I am currently looking for a new PSU. My Budget is around £100 ($135USD)

 

Which one should i go for, or are there better options?:

 

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2

https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Tester-220-G2-0750-X3/dp/B01AHRQW5W

 

Seasonic FOCUS PLUS 650W 80 PLUS GOLD

Is the G2 brand worth the extra money?

650 and 750 will probably be overkill unless you're running extreme chips. But either series are fine. Go with the cheapest one if you ask me. I have the Seasonic focus+ 650w. Total overkill for my 8600k (no OC) and RX 580 but absolutely silent and more than powerful enough for any system I could imagine myself building the next ten years.

Main rig: i7 8086K // EVGA Z370 Micro // 16GB Gskill TridentZ 3200Mhz CL14 // Sapphire Pulse RX 7800XT// a variety of noctua cooling // Corsair RM750x v2 //  Fractal Meshify C

Secondary rig: R5 3600 // MSI B450i Gaming Plus // 16GB Gskill FlareX 3200CL14 // MSI GTX 1080ti Gaming X // Cooler Master V650 // Fractal Meshify C

Audio setup: Audient iD4 // Adam A7X // Sennheiser HD 650 // Sennheiser HD 25-II // Audio Technica M50x // Sennheiser Momentum 4

I'm thinking 550W is enough.

That system will draw around 250W, if even that. The aforementioned Whisper would do fine.

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