Hello everyone, I made a thread last night which was quickly answered, but unfortunately the power supply I was looking at which was supposed to be on sale, the email I got from newegg was delayed and the deal was over.

So today, I was looking over their new deals. I saw the Corsair one, but with all of the bad reviews (+ the fan is apparently loud despite what Corsair stated), I found this power supply, while only 650W (I wanted at least 750W) and not Modular (which is somewhat important to me), it doesn't have many bad reviews and all but one are for DOA power supplies. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-371-056&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

That is the power supply I was looking at. I will link my last thread below for reference, as it contains my specs, future upgrades, etc. I am trying to keep this below $100 because money is tight and I'm also trying to pick up a PS4.

That is the thread I created last night.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day.

A small, possible problem with the EVGA is that it seems to have incompatibility issues with some gigabyte motherboards. I am not sure if that would affect me :/

And also, it being quiet is very important, but I don't see many complaints about noise. This is to be used in a build designed for Video Game commentary and livestreaming. So having background noise is a turnoff.

Thank you again. You haven't failed to help me yet :)

Thank you all for your help.

I may end up with the Antec, despite it not being modular and only 650W, I may have to tough it out.

My main question now, is will that 650W PSU be able to handle an AMD FX-8350, a Radeon R9 280X (or similar), and a load of other parts (that don't use much power)?

Alright. Well, I'll do some more research, but the antec seems like the best for me at the moment. I'll have to set aside my current 450W in case it fails, but at least I'll have a backup

Thank you all again!
