Recommended PSU for my build?

Shadyxi · Apr 27, 2017

Need a 8 pin PSU that I can oc my GPU and provides enough power to oc my CPU too!

Here's the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fk2LBP

Note: My monitor will be 1440p 75Hz

Budget is $35-60 Thank you!

Edit: I could pay anything over $35 but Im not going to pay anything more than $60. Sorry for the confusion I should have stated that from the very start but didnt pay attention haha

Anyways, thank you to everyone who replied.

this is the cheapest you should be getting

if you are just making the build now and have not bought anything then get a cheaper case

I cannot think of a PSU for $35 that I would trust in a PC that needs an 8-pin PCIe power connection. I believe you will need to almost double that budget to get something reasonable, to $60-$70. There are too many PSU-shaped objects in the $35 range that are not good for anywhere near what is on their labels, which will croak, possibly violently enough to take attached parts with them into the Outer Darkness.

the S12II 520 is 44$ and currently it's the cheapest decent PSU I can see.
I'd recommend changing the case to something like Corsair SPEC-01 (still good and windowed) and use the budget for the PSU.
your build deserves 50-70$ PSU.

$35??? I'm sorry but we don't recommend putting nuclear bombs in your tower

Corsair CXM550 39.99 $ after rebate (but ends in two days, so you would need to be quick about it)

Your chosen video card requires a 500watt PSU, taking this as a guide, you also need a power supply that can handle enough power and reliable power to the rest of your system. Plus any possible upgrade(s) in the future... so I suggest to drop the after market air cooler and use that money towards your PSU. (the cooler that comes with the CPU is good enough)

My suggestion: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438060
This EVGA PSU is now on sale, with a 5 year warranty. (I personally prefer 10 year warranty but they usually cost more, but worth it since you can use the same PSU on your next build)

This is $70 after rebate.

Thanks! I found the Rosewill 750W at the same price as Corsair but with a higher wattage. Do you still recommend me the Corsair over Rosewill?

watts are not really relevant. your computer gaming load will be around 250w average.
the quality of PSU is important. And this rosewill PSU is not the greatest.
