Hazem Fouad · Mar 21, 2016

I WANT TO Buy A Skylake Gaming Build so which PSU is the best to buy
Case : NZXT S340
CPU : I5-6600 6M Skylake 3.3GHz
Ram : 8GB DDR4 2666MHz CL15 1.2v
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H170-Gaming 3
Graphics Card : GTX 970
Hard Drive 1 : Western Digital 500 GB
Hard Drive 2 : Seagate 2 TB
....
now i have 3 PSU's i could buy but i want to know which one is highly recommended

SeaSonic S12II Bronze 520W 80 PLUS
or
XFX ProSeries Core Edition 550W 80 PLUS
or
SeaSonic S12II Bronze 620W 80 PLUS (i think that this one is more than enough)

Any of those will work fine. 500 watts is enough for your build. All are Seasonic made (the XFX too) and good quality. Take the unit with the best price / warranty.

Archaic59 :

both of
SeaSonic S12II Bronze 520W 80 PLUS
XFX ProSeries Core Edition 550W 80 PLUS
are at the same price
i should go for the xfx as it has +30Watts right ?
so the XFX is the best one so far and it could handle the GTX 970

Hazem Fouad :

You could enter the parts on PCPartPicker.com It will tell you the estimated wattage of your build. I would advise going with the SeaSonic S12II Bronze 520W 80 PLUS. Or the higher wattage S12II if you would like more room for upgrades in the future. Hope I helped!!

A few extra watts won't really matter but if you like the XFX unit and the price is good then buy it for sure.

They can be used but none of them are compatible with the sleep states , but that can be disabled in the BIOS.

Personally would have gone with something newer.

But the XFX is Haswell Ready which means it's compatible with the sleep states
