What PSU should i buy?

tim641 · Jul 6, 2016

My PC specs are:

Intel core i7 3770k (oc'd to 4,2ghz)
nvidia gtx 670 FTW
h100i watercooling
4x4gb kingston RAM
asus sabertooth z77 motherboard
1 120gb ssd 1 60gb ssd 1 2tb HDD
MS-TECH 850 watt PSU

I am going to upgrade to a 1070 in 3 months, so it needs to be able to handle that card aswell.

Right now i get alot of voltage errors which kinda worries me. It keeps saying: Warning! +12v 0,000v and stuff. i dont know what PSU fits into my pc and how much watt i need. my budget is 120 euros.

120EUR will be more than enough, but availability will vary depending on your exact location.

You shouldn't need more than a quality 500W PSU, but there's no harm in going higher (and will allow you sufficient OC headroom).

SeaSonic M12II 620W @ 102EUR

XFX TS 750PRO @ 96EUR

be Quiet! Straight Power 10 600W @ 116EUR

All quality options for you.

That's using the Spanish links from PCPP. Your mileage may vary depending on local availability, but Amazon (where most of those links direct) should ship EU-wide no problem.

The above options are good, except for that 750 overkill

650w of a good PSU is more than you ever going to need.
You can use this list to verify if your PSU is good enough. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Any tier 1 and tier2 are good. some tier 3 are also good, some not. they are mostly fine if you are going 600-650w models (low load -> low temps -> less issues)

n0ns3ns3 :

Still a good option, especially for the price

Although the OP is never going to utilize 750W.

Just wanted to clarify incase the OP got the wrong impression that the others were good option,s but the 750W was not.

n0ns3ns3 · Jul 6, 2016

That's true.
Let replace it with other excellent option:
EVGA PowerSupply (PSU) SuperNOVA 650 G2 650W - still overkill and the 550G2 would be perfectly fine

Barty1884 · Jul 6, 2016

Great options too, but may not be within the OP's budget.
G2 550W @ 115EUR https://www.amazon.es/Evga-SuperNOVA-Plus-Gold-Modular/dp/B011F7Z646/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467817457&sr=8-3&keywords=supernova+G2

G2 750W @ 119EUR
https://www.amazon.es/EVGA-SuperNOVA-750-750W-alimentaci%C3%B3n/dp/B01AKWU2NW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467817457&sr=8-2&keywords=supernova+G2

The G2 650W seems to have really disproportionate prices (Like 160EUR+, for some reason).

OP should be able to use these suggestions & shop around locally. I'm sure there's better prices available.

Are corsair PSU's good aswell? I can buy a corsair VS650 psu in a local store close to where i live for 70 euros. And does every PSU fit like on my components or do some newer PSU's not fit because i have some older components in my pc?

Barty1884 · Jul 6, 2016

Some Corsair are good, some are 'ok', some are not very good at all. It depends on the manufacturer & quality from there.
I would recommend you avoid the Corsair VS line, they're not very good.

tim641 · Jul 6, 2016

How about the Corsair CX650M or the RM650x? They are both around 90/100 euros aswell

n0ns3ns3 · Jul 6, 2016

tim641 :

I have the RM650 and it's decent. not great, but will do the job. My setup is a bit more power hungry due to higher overclocks .

tim641 · Jul 6, 2016

I will probably buy an RM650x or a RM650i since i can buy one of those in a store close to me aswell, and they give 10 years(!!) of warranty on them. i just have to figure out how to replace a PSU

Thanks for the help guys

Barty1884 · Jul 6, 2016

tim641 :

I'd go with the RM650i, a better PSU than the 'x' variant.

Replacing a PSU is pretty easy. Just follow your PSU cables, and route your new ones the same way. Unplug the existing connector, replace with the new.

tim641 · Jul 6, 2016

I can get a corsair RM750i for the exact same price as the RM650i. Do u guys think i should get the 750 one instead of the 650 one? And will it just restrict it from giving to much electricity?

Barty1884 · Jul 6, 2016

Your rig will only use what it needs. If the RM750i is the same price, no harm in buying it.
