You can usually pickup a 550w XFX in that price range and they are very good units.

Well shit, didnt expect this XD Will be looking into them.

Kyledabaws · Apr 11, 2014

Moderns, is definitely the best for the price, why is it so cheap, anything missing? I dont care about modulars, as long as my system will work with it

ModernWarfare · Apr 11, 2014

it will do great

.

Kyledabaws · Apr 11, 2014

Just curious, what does the 80+ copper and stuff mean anyways?

bignastyid · Apr 11, 2014

Kyledabaws :

The XFX(tier2) is a higher quality unit as it uses higher quality parts than the EVGA(tier 4).

Kyledabaws :

It's an effeciency rating.

ModernWarfare · Apr 11, 2014

its actually a good unit there is no proof to show that. not a single person had problems with it. it has 49amps and can bear at 40c.

bignastyid · Apr 11, 2014

ModernWarfare :

Never said it was bad, its just the XFX is better in terms of quality. The XFX is made by Seasonic(one of the best manufactures), the EVGA is made by HEC(known to use components of questionable quality).

one of the most stable units on the market.

Kyledabaws · Apr 11, 2014

ModernWarfare · Apr 11, 2014

+1 XFX is much better!!!

ModernWarfare · Apr 11, 2014

i dont care whats better whats more important is stability and more power at a reasonable price.

btw if he had a haswell cpu the xfx 550 is not compatible.

Ahmadjon · Apr 11, 2014

ModernWarfare :

XFX one is solid and stable PSU, I just suggested the best for lower price! LOL
And most Haswell compatible PSU's are made before Haswell CPU's, I know some guys who run Haswell systems with non certified PSU's

ModernWarfare · Apr 11, 2014

evga 600watts 49amps

Xfx 550watts 44amps.

Ahmadjon · Apr 11, 2014

ModernWarfare :

What?!
When I open both links they show me 59.99$ and it's not lower than 49.99$!!!
Also 44amps is more than enough for any single powerful graphics card and, with 550W PSU he won't be able to run SLI or CrossFireX with cards like GTX-760, 770, or R9-280X, For SLI two power hungry graphics cards he'll need at least 700~750W PSU!

Kyledabaws · Apr 11, 2014

I'm sorry Jon, but, im not going to be looking for SLI, ive been looking for a 500-600 PSU for a reason, I'd chosen the best answer because he showed me what i would be getting for the lowest price, I'd studied suggested voltages and amperage and feel that the one ModernWarfare had given me sufficed. Thank you. Thread closed.

Ahmadjon · Apr 11, 2014

Kyledabaws :

That XFX PSU is also sufficient and you could save 10$ on that PSU, for me it doesn't matter for whom you'll give best answer I just want to make sure that you get best available for your money

XFX any variety over EVGA.
