Hello everyone at Tom's Hardware!

I'm currently struggling as what to get in terms of a PSU. I really don't know what to get for my current system build (it's almost finished i just need a PSU that works as fine with the specs). I'm from Argentina so options are kind of limited.

My current specs are:

Processor: Intel Core i5-4440 3.10 GHz
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SuperClocked 8GB
RAM: 8 GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-DS3H-A
Hard Disk: 1TB Toshiba (DT01ACA100, SATA 6.0 GB/s)
Click to expand...

What kind of PSU should i get for this build? Thanks in advance!

no idea what psus are available in argentina

but get the best quality psu you can afford

its not just how many watts it says on the box thats most important

some companies get sneaky with that

and some even just out right lie

a psu in my opinion if it has less than a 3 year warranty isnt something i would ever use

Don`t skimp on the PSU, get a high quality unit from EVGA, Seasonic, or Corsair. I am using a EVGA 550w G2 and its been rock steady, and quiet too. I`m sure the forum membership will suggest others.

as said evga,seasonic,corsair good place to start

but if you cant get any of those where you are

the longer the warranty given the better as it means the company has faith in the product

i usually tell people look for 5 year warranty or more

though said 3 or more in your case just in case your choices are more limited in argentina

edited--and yes 500/550w

Get either of these Seasonic PSU's (these are the only ones I can find in your country that are good quality and ample wattage), the rest are either low-quality or 850+++ wattage (which you don't need):
