What PSU for a GTX970 (not oc)

DarkxLucario · Dec 20, 2015

Hello, I'm currently upgrading my old gpu (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02681290) <-- this is my current pc. To a GTX 970 or though I have been told I would need to upgrade my PSU in order for the GTX 970 to work. So what cost effective and not to exspensive PSU from this list preferably since I live in AUS and I wont have to pay for delivery (http://www.austin.net.au/shop-categories/psu.html) what would work? Thankyou experts!

I would suggest the corsair 600w one,

You should be OK with 600 watts.

Do not go with Corsair as their PSU's are trash. What's your PSU budget?

Under 150 AUD preferably $100

I have an EVGA 650 G2. It's fully modular and fantastic. I got it for $60 on black friday, but it retails under $100 normally.

Corsair PSU's are somewhat considered as bad, but truly are not that terrible. However, EVGA does offer a high level of satisfaction, so I would suggest you get a 650w EVGA or Corsair one.

How about Coolmasters? Are they worse?

SkywalkerHsu · Dec 20, 2015

Cooler Master doesn't have particularly good ones, stick to Corsair or EVGA. Theirs are the best quality.

I am considering the following. (http://www.austin.net.au/corsair-vs650-650w-atx-power-supply.html) This one seems good and was recommended by Skywalker and I would rather not spend anymore than that and I wont be upgrading my gtx 970 for a long time but how much better is something such as (http://www.austin.net.au/corsair-cx-600m-600w-modular-atx-power-supply.html) or this (http://www.austin.net.au/corsair-cs550m-550w-semi-modular-atx-80-gold.html) the 80 gold thing seems good but I dont know.

In Australia you might want to look at the Antec HCG series,about the right amount of wattage for the right amount of price and solid psu's.The 520watt woul;d already be fine.
The cooler master "V"series is a good one,semi modular and good quality,the "GM" series is imo also a decent choice when on a budget.

I'm probably going to go with http://www.austin.net.au/corsair-vs650-650w-atx-power-supply.html Should I or is this a bad idea?

Vic 40 · Dec 21, 2015

I already gave other options,not just for the sake of it.This one is a bad idea imo.
Look at this one for just abit more,

if you're really worried about budget should this one be better than the corsair,
http://www.centrecom.com.au/antec-neo-520w-eco-80-bronze-power-supply
but the Antec HCG is the best choice.
Another choice for the same price as the Corsair,

You don't need 650watt for the gtx 970 so don't worry about the wattages i chose.

DarkxLucario · Dec 21, 2015

The Antec one cost $134 for me. Pretty expsensive.

You can only buy at the link you provided? The links i gave are all Australian shops.
