Looking for a good 850 PSU

thegameksk · Nov 29, 2015

Hey all. My setup will be
Hero VIII
I7 6700K
16 gig HyperX FURY Ram
EVGA GTX 980TI (in future)
Cooler Master Hafx
Acer 60HZ monitor

I want a 850 PSU because in the future I plan on running 2 cards and adding other components such as sound cards, etc. Thanks.

Summary

Buy one. Do I really need to say anything else at this point? Once again, EVGA has something awesome here the competition can't seem to touch price wise. Performance? There are better units, yes. Not very many, but they exist. The real story here is how EVGA keeps managing to offer this kind of performance and still be more affordable than nearly everything else out there, and they have pretty much found perhaps the only OEM on Earth capable of doing it for them. It's got to be real nice being EVGA right now.

The Good:

outstanding ripple suppression
excellent voltage regulation
fully modular
semi-fanless mode
nice blacked out cabling

The Bad:

nothing at all

The Mediocre:

reviewing awesome units is getting dull... where's that gutless wonder in my pile? Second in line? Well, at least I'm guaranteed something interesting in all the wrong ways in a couple weeks...

thegameksk :

You're most welcome.

Honestly any of the units posted are great...pretty much no wrong answer. You won't get a HUGE performance difference between the P2 model I linked and the Gold that Blackbird has provided such a beautiful post for, so between the two if you're somewhat budget-minded the gold 850 would be perfect.
