PSU Suggestion for my system.

Fizy45 · Apr 21, 2014

After having bunch of problems and examining them in here I decided that the death of my old graphic card and last days repeated restarts during game caused by my gpu.(See the pictures and links below)

My thread to find problems

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2113323/restart-games.html

But in that thread some people told me to buy 600+ watt I dont understand my cards max 600 watt and the guys in store always tells me to buy something stronger than 700 or I have problems with it but you guys are telling me to buy 600.

If 600 is really enough that is good for me cause I dont want to spend more money it.Can you explain me why and offer me some good and low price examples for my rig.

Everything in my system except my PSU is less than 4 months old.

I7 4770 K 3,5 GHZ
MSI Military Class MSI MS 7823
ASUS GTX 780 3 GB 386 Bit
Toughpower 750 watt (potential problem 4 years old.)
2x4 GB Kingston Ram
1 TB DISK

A solid 750W is good enough for 2 GTX 780 Tis and an over clocked 4770K. A bad 750W, as you seem to have experienced, is not good for anything.

Your choice depends on your budget. If you have ~$100 to spend, you can get this awesome PSU. If you only have around $50, you could go for an XFX 550W or the EVGA 600B (which sometimes can be found for around $40.

There are of course a ton of options, but those I just mentioned are some of the best and often available at those price points. I would recommend the 750W if your motherboard supports SLI.

these two are sufficient for this build. brand xfx made by seasonic.

I plugged my friends XIGMATEK 800 watt 80+ PSU now my 12v readings are steady along 11,79 line after hours of playing games its 11,55 we bought his PSU 3 weeks ago is it normal for a new 800 watt psu to behave like this ?

The readings on his pc is little more than mine maybe 0,02 more.

So far I have no restarts do you suggest me to buy this ?

XIGMATEK Centauro 800W (XTK-CB-0800M)

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 21, 2014

XIGMATEK are poor power supplies that won't last.

Fizy45 · Apr 21, 2014

Really so far I do not have any resets but that 11,79 makes me go nervous I excepted something closer to 12 especially while testing a only 3 weeks old PSU.

They don't make good power supplies , don't buy it.

Fizy45 · Apr 21, 2014

Oww its good to hear that...

Lets say that I bought a Corsair or XFX will my readings are going to be closer or more than 12v

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 21, 2014

XFX yes , corsair maybe.

Fizy45 · Apr 21, 2014

Those PSU are not avalible in my local store how about this one ?

RS-750 GX 80PLUS 750W Cooler Master

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 21, 2014

It's fair at best.

Fizy45 · Apr 21, 2014

Oke than I will buy it tomorrow

Fizy45 · Apr 22, 2014

What about FSP is that a good brand ?

ModernWarfare · Apr 22, 2014

no there not. dont think about any cheap brands. focus on corsair,antec,seasonic,xfx.

Fizy45 · Apr 22, 2014

But I saw really good uset reviews about it...

ModernWarfare · Apr 22, 2014

good rate for the fire work show.

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 22, 2014

Some FSP power supplies are real good solid units.
