850 Watt PSU for Two-Way SLI (770's)

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

I was wondering if this PSU is enough to power my PC?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438030&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Here's my system specs:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
MOBO: ASRock Z97 Extreme 3
CPU: i5-4690k
GPU: EVGA GeFore GTX 770 4GB Superclocked w/ACX Cooler (Two-Way SLI)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB 1600 MHz
Storage: Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 1TB 7200 RPM
Case Fans: Four case fans (Three are 120mm and one is 80mm)

If there's a better PSU out there for a similar price capable of running this build please let me know! Thanks!

should be fine.

though at $90 you probably could get a seasonic made xfx brand psu like this...

that's about as good a psu as you'll get for $90 and that wattage and it has enough power for your build too.

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

Thanks for the advice ingtar33, the xfx PSU might be an option. The EVGA PSU is only $69.99 after the rebate though and that's a pretty good deal.

Nice choice Matthew-san , that is a great quality power supply made by Super Flower.

I think I would stay with that deal you pointed out earlier SR. Doesn't get better then this one, and it makes sense in this case due to the SLI.

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

True , I was just saying he made a great choice and the B2 is semi-modular , and also made by SUPER FLOWER.

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

Being semi-modular is certainly important to me, plus I trust EVGA products. Every EVGA product I've purchased has been of extremely good quality and well priced. I'm willing to pay the extra $20 for the benefits of owning a EVGA PSU and it being semi-modular. Thanks for everyone's help!

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

That model is made by Super Flower , in my opinion the BEST.

Cough cough, marketing, cough.
Cough cough, getting paid, cough,

lol

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

I wish , but I buy only EVGA power supplies.

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

HERE'S MY EVGA P2 1000W.

barto · Nov 25, 2014

Very nice. That explains your suggestions. I used to try and fight for Corsair's TX and HX series. Lately I've been lazy and just don't care.

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

Who cares if it's marketing, because what's being sold is the truth. EVGA makes some of the best if not the best computer components on the market. I currently only own one EVGA product at the moment and that's my graphics card which is a EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Superclocked w/ACX Cooler and it's not only the best component in my computer but the best graphics card I've ever owned. Nice build SR-71 Blackbird, I'm jealous

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

Here's my EVGA 850w G2 in one of my other setups.

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

Man, I wish I could afford two builds like that. I had actually planned on purchasing the EVGA 850W G2 but the EVGA 850W B2 was more in my price range. You can't go wrong with either one though!

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

Both great quality , will perform well for you.

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

Thanks again SR-71 Blackbird. I can't wait to get my hands on the B2 PSU to power my 770 SLI setup.

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

Your welcome Glad to assist.

barto · Nov 25, 2014

Matthew-san :

Whoa whoa, easy there. It's friendly banter. I'm also a EVGA guy. Apart from their newest GPUs which have coil whine, typically don't recommend any other GPU manufacturer. However, EVGA PSU haven't been on the market as long as Corsair has. Does that mean they're bad. Not at all, they are maturing. If you're paying for a name brand, Seasonic is the way to go.

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2014

Super Flower is #1 , Seasonic #2

Matthew-san · Nov 25, 2014

Don't worry barto, everything was said in good spirit. EVGA has yet to let me down so I will be purchasing the B2 PSU.

4745454b · Nov 25, 2014

It's a bronze unit and more expensive, but your choice. Both are Super Flower units to my knowledge.

SR, I think you have that backwards. SF is doing great, but doesn't have the long track history that Seasonic has. But both are good. (I'm also a huge Delta fan, so they are probably #3.)

barto · Nov 25, 2014

Oh shizz. MOD BATTLE!

4745454b · Nov 25, 2014

LOL. I hope none of you suffer any hits from the ban hammer. Us mods can handle the effects of it ok, but you other members can't. Wouldn't call this a battle. Seasonic vs anyone else is a convo that comes up sometimes, and I can see both sides.

ingtar33 · Nov 26, 2014

seasonic has earned the trust of the DIY community with consistently producing a top end equipment, year in and year out for a long long time. This does not mean they are the best at any one time, only the most consistent quality psu producer. There are psus produced by other manufacturers that are better then the best seasonic units... though those manufacturers often produce poor quality products as well. there are other manufacturers who currently are producing very high quality stuff across their lineup, who haven't been doing it as long as seasonic (super flower is a great example).

I won't even get into an argument over who is currently making the best psus. but i always feel confident to recommend a seasonic product to an enthusiast. I know i'll be suggesting a high quality, high reliability unit, no matter what the price point. It's a safe no questions asked and defendable recommendation, and one i don't hesitate to stand behind.

(BTW: it's also a recommendation i've stood behind in practice, with my last two psu's being seasonic made units... an old corsair 400W builder, and a xfx pro 750W unit. The 400W corsair still works, just as good as the day i bought it, 4 years ago, the only reason i replaced it was i needed more power for my current rig)
