PSU Suggestions/Recommendations

[RKarim]

Hey Everyone!

 

I'm building a new PC and I was wondering what PSU would be advisable. I'm planning on running a Ryzen 2700x, and a GTX 1080. Would this PSU be a good choice (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07793TFW8/?tag=pcpapi-20)? I was also looking at the EVGA G2 lineup. I'm rather concerned about this, as I'm not quite sure what PSU to choose, and as its a PSU I know you have to be careful. Any input on this topic would be very much appreciated.

Seasonic is a good brand, especially their focus line up

So that's recommending the focus gold?

A 550W would be fine, so get that instead.

Seasonic Focus has Problems with highe End GPUs. 

EVGA is worse than others for about the same money, they are just nothign special or bring anything interesting to the table.

 

Another Option: Bitfenix Formula, Whisper M, Cougar GX-F, be quiet Straight Power 11.

And for that, 450W is enough w/o OC; with OC to be "on the safe side", 550W.

Could we stop with the going by brand bullshit?!
Because Seasonic has some Garbage in their lineup.

 

Since I'm fed up with this Seasonic Hype stuff, read that:
