antec vp600p

[Althu]

i wanna know if antecvp600p would be enough for gtx 1080 and ryzen 5 1600.how is the built quality of the psu.could you suggest me some alternative for around the same price.i am on a budget

[NelizMastr]

Take a look at this list. It's generally agreed on that on a strict budget you shouldn't get worse than a tier 4, and if you want to do it right, go tier 3 or better.

 

 

For around the price of a VP600P you should be able to find a Corsair CX550 or 550M which should be fine for a single GPU setup.

It's crap. The 1080 is a $500 GPU, and you're trying to save $20 by getting an absolute garbage PSU?

The Vengeance 400W, Pure Power 10 400W, CX450/M or Formula 450W shouldn't cost that much more.

I'd be more surprised if a brand doesn't have at least one crappy PSU.

well its expected that some psus would be worse than others and maybe be less efficient etc but i wouldnt expect them to release one thats fry your components bad

[Althu]

VW has the Up and the Pheaeton.

Is it surprising that the Up, wich cost around 1/10th of the Phaeton (or even less) is a worse car than the Phaeton? Both come from the same manufacturer!

 

YOu get my point? There are shitty, low price products but the good stuff cost a penny or two more than the crap.

 

And here we also have the shitty, low price stuff that somehow works and you have the good stuff that works better and extends the life of the components.

Considering that Antec doesn't actually manufacture their PSUs, it's not surprising at all. Why would they have a 200 dollar PSU that performs stellar when they could have a 50 dollar PSU that performs as well? It doesn't make sense. If the PSU is cheaper then it isn't going to be as good, and you can't make a blanket statement about a brand's PSUs when they have to have a super cheap unit in there for a target market.

 

Currently, every single PSU Corsair sells is an exception unit bar the VS. The VS isn't utter crap, but it shouldn't be carrying Corsair's reputation with it the same way an RMi should.

You should spend more than $50 on a PSU if you can afford a GTX 1080. An EVGA G2/G3, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, Bitfenix Whisper/Formula Gold, Corsair TX/RMx, all would be fine for your system. 550W is the minimum for several of these listed while 450W would still be enough for your system with overclocking.

You know what's funny? I love cars and I know both of these vehicles, but most people in America don't know what an Up looks like and the Phaeton has sold like 2000 units in the entire USA  

 

I get your point though.

 

For those from America:

 

Should a Chevrolet Aveo be able to hold the same reputation as the Corvette? No. Despite being made both by Chevrolet, the Aveo is crap and the Corvette isn't and you shouldn't hold the Aveo to the same standard considering the huge price gap.

It's crap. Personal experience with it. Just get a good PSU the first time. Antec makes a lot of other cheaper ones that are  still great
