need a new psu

NormH · May 15, 2016

of the ones listed here which are in my budget what will best fit my needs. mostly gaming. my rig is as follows:
gpu; sapphire r9 290 4gb tri-x OC
Ram; 16gb pny xlr8 1600mhz (8gb x2)
Case, HDD, Mobo, CPU are stock acer predator g3600 (i5-2300 cpu, 500gb WD HDD). have no problems with temps but the stock 500W psu is too weak for the gpu ive added recently. had an hd 7850 before and never had any issues. please advise on new psu.

I'd get the EVGA 600B. Not that it's great or anything but the others are garbage.

note- If you turn off rebates the list shrinks a bunch, from 13 models down to 7.

$49.99 \ EVGA 700 B1 80+ Bronze, 700W

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Bronze-Power-Supply-100-B1-0700-K1/dp/B018JYHBE6/ref=sr_1_12?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1463361645&sr=1-12&keywords=650w+psu

If you open a TRIAL of Amazon Prime , you can cancel it within the 30 days , you can get this one , it's decent but not great.

Don't cheap out on a power supply. Get something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

its not about cheaping out its about having the money vs not having the money. i can say i want a tier one psu all day but if i have tier 3 money and tier 3 has proven to be reliable im getting tier 3

I see. Well in that case, I would agree with the others that one of the EVGA options is probably the best choice.
