What PSU would you recommend?

Lucho93 · Sep 16, 2016

Hi Everybody! I was wondering, what PSU would you recommend for these components?

Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger
Processor: i7 4790k
RAM: Hyperx Fury DDR3 1600mhz 2x8gb
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6GB DDR5
HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB + Western Digital Blue 1TB
Water Cooling: Corsair H100i V2

I currently own a Sentey SNP650W but I've benn told to change it, cause it's not very good. Keep in mind that I don't have too much money to spend AND that I live in Argentina, so some of the ones you recommend may not be available for me here in wich case I'll let you know

I mostly want it for gaming and video editing (After Effects and Premiere)

Thanks!

I'd recommend a Seasonic S12II-620 Bronze 620W.
It's a very well built PSU, you won't have problems with it!

It has enough power to hold up your entire build and some more for that i7 to do some overclocking.

The seasonic psu recommended above is a good budget psu, but it is a quite old group regulated design. It should be a decent reliable psu, but considering the rest of your build im wondering why you wouldn't set aside money to get a high quality psu to go along with an expensive system like that? I would look at something like an EVGA G2 550watt.

Sadly, from the G2 series the only ones available in my country are the 1000w and 850w. Not my budget. Things are pretty expensive over here...

That was my first option, but in my country I can only get Corsair's CX or CXm wich I've been told, are not as good.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 16, 2016

A CX550M , the silver and black model is decent , most CXM are poor.

Lucho93 · Sep 16, 2016

So, between the Corsair Cx650m and Seasonic M12II 620w wich one should I go for?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 16, 2016

M12II 620w is slightly better , than that Corsair.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the recommendation!!!!

Lucho93 · Sep 16, 2016

Is the M12II 620w EVO EDITION the same?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 16, 2016

M12II 620w EVO EDITION , get the M12 , not the S12 , M12II 620w EVO EDITION is the right one

Lucho93 · Sep 16, 2016

Thanks again!
