need some help with psu

joaofsa2000pt · May 29, 2016

so i want to upgrade my pc
current specs:
cpu: i3 2125
mobo: asus p8h77-v
gpu: asus hd 7770
psu: some cheap 580w power supply i think the model is lpg19-35e

So i want to upgrade to:
cpu: i5 6600k
mobo: msi z170a krait gaming r6
ram: crucial 8gb ballistix elite
gpu: evga gtx 970 ftw+
psu: this is where i need help

idk if the current psu can be used for my build since i dont want to spend money on a full build i jus want to upgrade some parts and for gpu i want one of the best for a 400 euro max in my country(portugal).
so that gpu requires 1x6pin and 1x8pin but my current psu only has 1x6pin so i need to upgrade it. can you guys give me some tips on wich psu to buy without spending too much money maybe 60 euro max. i will also do a slight overclock on the cpu to 4.2ghz and maybe gpu aswell only if i need to. dont judge me pls this is my first build so some tips would be good aswell.

EDIT: thank you everyone for the sugestions i will buy the xfx ts 550w

don´t buy the gtx 970 because its successor gtx 1070 will be available in a few weeks .
and definitely replace that junk power supply .
IDK what are the prices of power supplies in your country
(if you can post some links on your local retailors it would help a lot)
but generally speaking for 60 euros you can get something like seasonic S12II 520w

look for if you can find a XFX TS 550w, Seasonic S12II series, or a EVGA 550w GS or XFX XTR or Seasonic M12II series.

if those are not to your standards, you might want to browse the PSU tier list and look for a tier 2

ah yeah the 1070 i guess i forgot it was coming idk what the price will be but i guess it will be expensive in my country. the 1080 is 800euros so the 1070 maybe 500 wich is too much for me. but i can post some retailers

XFX TS 550w

+1 to the XFX TS 550W.
Not much choice in your price and in the websites you listed. I also found only that XFX psu that one can recommend. Get that power supply. Very good quality. Made by seasonic.

joaofsa2000pt :

Seconded on the XFX TS. Concearning the 1070, why don't you buy from amazon.co.uk? They ship to Portugal as far as i know.
Regardless, DO wait for the 1070 to come out and see how the prices pan out. I think it's worth it to make an informed decision.
