750w non modular PSU or 600w modular PSU?

coDyDaTallGuy · Mar 17, 2015

I'm in the market for a new PSU so I can being upgrading my computer. I'm currently looking at a non modular 750w PSU that goes for about $80 but I can get it for $50 with a mail in rebate. Should I stick with this PSU or should I get a modular one that has less watts?

I don`t think the modularity fhould be the defining factor, but the quality.
What are the two PSU models that you are looking into?

You want to make sure you get a good quality PSU, like the Tier 1 and 2 from this list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Pr3di :

The first PSU I was looking at is a Antec TP-750C 750W non modular PSU and it's gold certified. I don't have any other PSU but that's what I was asking, should I get a modular one that has less watts or should I stick with the one I was looking at originally?

The wattage also depends on your build.
Give me a list of your computer parts, let`s check how much wattage you need, and then find a good PSU for you.

It's not the best build but I plan on replacing most of these parts for better ones in the near future so here it goes.

CPU: FX - 6100
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
GPU: GT 640 2gb
Ram: 16gb
PSU: 460w

If you plan to only go for one GPU in the future as well, a 600W PSU will be enough for you.
What`s your budget, and where are you buying it from?

Pr3di :

I don't see myself using more than one GPU right now, but I might in the future. As far as my budget goes I would like to keep it under $80 if possible. I mostly buy my parts from Newegg, but if there is a place with a better deal then it's doesn't much matter to me.

If you can go 5$ over your budget, you can go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371066

It`s 750W (you can even get two cards in your build with this), it`s modular, and it has 5 years warranty.
Based on the reviews I read on it, it`s a really decent piece of gear.

The only thing that "might" be a minus is the LED fan on the PSU.

This is perfect! I can even get a $20 rebate on this which is great! I thank you for your help my good man
