Is this is good deal for a power supply and does it work well?

[Ehrix]

So I was on newegg and saw there was a combo for a 2070 and and a power supply for -$80. The powersupply Is an EVGA Supernova g1+ 650watt. Is it good at all, or should I stick to corsair's RX series power supplies?

[Fasauceome]

The G series from EVGA is at least mid range, with some high tier offerings, so I'd say it's a good deal. I believe that power supply is a $65 unit, so you're basically getting a free PSU and a discounted 2070.

Well the G1+ is still a very good PSU.

The G3 is just the latest revision though there were minor issues with its concept and 'quality wise' they even out.

If you go to our PSU Tier list you'll come to know both are rated Tier 2 which is still by all means good picks for a system.

Should I get something from the tier 2 or tier 1 list? Is there a difference?

Either 1 or 2 are ideals for personal machines.

Do you think I should wait for black Friday, buy a processor and motherboard and then near the "end of year holiday season" buy a graphics card? Or get this bundle now

It really depends on what kind of computer you want, a RTX 2070 is a GTX 1080, is that the level of performance you want from your GPU? what is the rest of your PC going to look like? Is it only for gaming?

Yes it is mostly for gaming but with a little school work mixed in. Mostly on chrome though in the future may use programs. Like some sort of CAD.

It looks pretty fine to me, you could still go i7 8700K + z370 instead as it performs much the same for cheaper (not to mention the i7 9700K is incredible hard to find available).

 

I'd just try to stay away from Razor products and favour a Corsair mechanical keyboard.

I already own that keyboard and mouse. I'm using them right now

Ok so I wanna confirm this. I should get the EVGA rtx 2070, EVGA superNOVA 650 G1+ 80 gold plus power supply over a Rx650 gold plus rated power supply thats on sale while waiting for a RTX 2070 to become on sale.

It won't matter which way you go here, both will work out.

ok thx for the help. I'll work on which one I should buy though learning towards your advice. 

 

 

I had a intel i7 8700k and a z370 but returned it for the i7 9700k, was going to wait till when the prices drop.

Eh I don't think this was a very wise thing to do, the processors are he same, the Hyper-Threading on the i7 8700K makes up for the extra 2 cores of the nonHyper-Threaded i7 9700K.

 

Benchmarks shows same performance across the board... but no point crying over spilled milk hehe, wish you good luck with the system.

I dislike the EVGA G1+ as it has no surge protection and in accurate power ok time.

Not something you’d prefer with an unstable power grid or with common lightning.

 

The RM550X is better.
