it should be a pretty good psu. Be Quiet usually makes good psus.

it is 80+ silver

If you own this PSU then you don't need to upgrade

Hi thanks for the answer!, would u advise upgrading it if i don't own one yet?

Destim :

if your budget is around 80$ i would get an antec edge 650. It is fully modular and 80+ gold. it is a tier 2 psu.

modular power supplies are so much better, you dont have a billion cables to deal with

I will look into that! thanks! Can u consider it as reliable as a be quiet psu?

yes, it is probably more reliable being a tier 2 psu

look at this thread

Looks pretty good yeah, i also saw the be quiet straight power psu in the tier 2 list... in my country the price difference between the be quiet STRAIGHT power 10 and the antec edge is only 10-15 euro's different.

the be quiet straight power 10 at 149 euro
the antec edge at 135 euro

Considering the wattage isn't a problem because 650 watt will do as good as 700 watt, (if u look at my build)
Pretty hard to make a choise here xD the antec edge has beautifull aesthetics and will match my build.
But if i go with 700 watt i have a little more space for sli and more hardware (for in the future)

Life is hard xD, what would u do?

Destim :

the straight power 10 is semi modular. I personally have an antec edge. it has a cool LED switch on it and it looks good in my case. Do whatever you like, they are both great PSUs

Rhezner :

Thanks man! This cleared up some of my problems haha, gues it's my turn to decide now.. Think i'l go with the antec one, 650 watt should be enough for my system right? because the gtx 980 can seriously pack a punch!
