Which 750W PSU should i get?

mfawzy2009 · Nov 4, 2015

I'm building my first gaming PC but can't decide on which PSU I should get

I am deciding between these three which are in the same price range:

My build is:

CPU: i5-6600k
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
MOBO: Gigabyte z170x-ud5
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 gaming
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8Gb
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1Tb 7200 rpm

Any suggestions on other PC parts for my system are also very welcome,

Thank you very much!

Seasonic M12II 750W EVO Edition 750-Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Full Modular PSU , M = Modular cables.

XFX ProSeries XXX Edition 750W Semi Modular(bronze) = Not Modular all cabes attached.

Thjese 2 are both SEASONIC AND GREAT QUALITY PICK ONE.

Seasonic makes ALL XFX power supplies.

you can get either of Seasonic M12II 750W EVO Edition 750-Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Full Modular PSU or XFX ProSeries XXX Edition 750W Semi Modular(bronze). but if you get the Corsair CX PSU I will find you and I will make you refund it.

Why are you getting a 750W unit for a 6600K and 960? Together while gaming they'll use <250W. What is the rest of the PSU going to be doing?

Hawkshot · Nov 4, 2015

Maybe op is planning on SLI and overclocking in the future in this caswe 2x 960 + I5-6600k OC'ed 750W power supply is still a little over whats needed but it would give very nice headroom, but 4745454b is right this build wouldn't need more than a good 450W PSU unless as I stated you want to OC which I suppose you do with a K processor and you plan on using that 960 in SLI ?>

As you stated, unless there is a lot more planned for this system, I'd rather have a good 500W Gold PSU over a 750W Bronze unit. Just trying to figure out why the PSU doesn't fit the system as stated.

Hawkshot · Nov 4, 2015

Agreed. OP if you don't plan on upgrading this system do look at getting a good 500W as previously stated by 4745454b

Sometimes based on Geographical location , the higher wattage ones have the best manufacturers.

Thanks for your replies, yes i am planning OC my i5. So i wanted to get the 750w just to be safe.
as for my only option for a lower PSU is either SeaSonic S12II Bronze 620W 80 PLUS Certified PSU or Seasonic M12II 620W EVO Edition 620-Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Full Modular PSU. which i might think of getting after your replies as it will save some money.

I bought this guy some years ago,

http://www.amazon.com/HEC-Zephyr-750-Watt-Supply-ZEPHYRMX750/dp/B00181D8TU

Has lasted since. Good 750w'r. Lots of cables and connectors.

This guy also looks to be good,

I thought I needed it, but my recent issue was actually GPU related. Seems like a good price for it. Good amount of cables, too.

The Zephyr 750W'r was on newegg, but it's sold out.
