Which power supply?

[snapcrackpop]

hello im looking for a power supply so far i have these 2 

https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-100-W1-0500-KR-WHITE-Warranty-Supply/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_35?s=electronics&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1538014878&sr=1-35&keywords=corsair+power+supply&refinements=p_85%3A5690392011 and

is the 80 plus bronze worth the extra 15$ or is the 80 plus white fine?

or would it be worth it to drop 50w down and get this bronze power supply https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N9X3F8F/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

none of them are good, get a corsair CX or coolermaster masterwatt instead.

I would recommend a AX760i its a bit more then their CX line but is a more quality and modular cable management and you can use the iLink software to control the fan speed and look at its temp. But I have no idea what your system specs are.  If you don't need that high wattage and will always use only 1 video card then grab what Herman said. 600 or so watts will be fine.

You are comparing a $50 PSU to a PSU that is $200 that has been discontinued for quite some time...

 

Most single GPU and CPU computers will work fine with a 400W PSU. 600W PSUs don't make any sense what-so-ever.

 

The fact that the guy is looking at low end PSUs, probably says they have a cheaper system (or they are spending the money in the wrong places).

[Turtle Rig]

Ok then grab the Corsair RM 650x and you will be set.  It's gold certified and modular cable management and 100 dollars shipped.  In the future it can handle a 1080 GTX no problems.  Corsair RM 650x Also its Gold certified.

after tax is 140 for me in canada! i only have 70$ left but i wouldnt like to spend more than 50 if necessary beacuse i still need case fans 

[Turtle Rig]

Good one snapcrackpop and Comic_Sans_ms.  Im thinking in the future if you want to get a 1080.  If he gets a 500watt or lower you can forget about a video card update pretty much.  Or you can go the EVGA route and get a cheapo PSU for 60 bucks. 500watt.  But don't expect a new video card in the future to work properly on it.

You said your PC has a i3 8350k, and a GTX 960. You will EASILY use under 250W.

Get a Corsair CX or CX-M (or even better, a Corsair Vengance), BeQuiet PurePower 10, Antec Earthwatts Pro instead.

 

You will be fine with a 400 or 450W PSU. And you probably shouldn't use a low end PSU with a 1080ti anyway, so when you upgrade (which you likely won't, and will just get a new PC instead), get something like a RM550x.

No. You are really wrong about that. A PC with a GTX 1080ti and extreme edition uses 380W AC, so about 320W from the PSU. A 400W PSU should suffice for most single GPU and CPU computer.

Good post.. I sorta want him to be future proof that's all.  Also I don't know if he wants a modular PSU.  If he doesn't care about modular cable management then for that system a 400watt will suffice.  However its not future proof.  I think his decision is made to just wait it out until he does a full upgrade to get a PSU then.

[Turtle Rig]

Evga is a good company, but I trust Corsair more and they have never let me down.  Grab the Corsair 550 white.  The 750w will make you future proof, but if you don't care about the future and care about the now then grab the 550 white like I said.

None of those. I cannot find anything about the gamdias, and the other 2 are a no.

 

Get this, a Corsair CX450M. Much better.

thinking that you need a 750w PSU for a GPU upgrade and that it's "futureproof", recommending entire brands instead of exact units(every brand sells crap), one of his replies makes it sound like he thinks there's no modular 400-450w PSU out there. the CX450/M and coolermaster masterwatt are good budget PSUs at around $60 or so.

With the $20 rebate, that's a pretty damn good price.

No, both are shit and utter crap and must be avioded!

 

Get a Bitfenix Formula, Whisper M, be quiet Straight Power 11, if possible.

400-550W is enough.

after tax is 140 for me in canada! i only have 70$ left but i wouldnt like to spend more than 50 if necessary beacuse i still need case fans 

IIRC, Bitfenix Formula is available for that Price on Newegg.ca

[Turtle Rig]

Sorry Herman, I just meant if he wants a 2080 GTX in the future he might run into trouble with a 400 or 450 watt.
