Best affordable PSU for Armageddon case

rosscobill · Dec 9, 2017

I need a PSU that can run a raedon r9 280 and more for when I upgrade

The case I currently have is this
http://www.pc-specs.com/case/Armaggeddon/Armaggeddon_TOMO_T100/2357/Compatible_PSUs
But I am having trouble trying to find an affordable PSU with the correct connections.

Also the raedon requires a 6 pin and 8 pin pci-e and the motherboard requires a 8 pin pci-e

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

You can go for Seasonic M12II-620 EVO since it's a good quality and affordable PSU that has all the connectors you need,

My Haswell build is also powered by M12II EVO series PSU but mine is 850W (full specs with pics in my sig).

I hope your 280 isn't long because that case is small.

A SuperNOVA G3 750W will power even a r9 290x but is overkill seeing as todays highest end cards can even run on good 430w psu's. You can also get the supernova 550w g3 since thats also enough.

I went for fully modular since that case is quite small.

While EVGA Supernova 550 G3 is also good PSU, it offers less wattage and higher price over M12II-620 EVO. Though, both are fully modular to ease the cable management,

Since price does matter for the OP, i'm not sure if he's willing to pay more for less.

Aeacus that is the perfect PSU for me nice and affordable and has the components I need for it, thank you very much for your answer

Didn't realize those launched already. A good deal and solid quality since they appearantly are just the normal s12II's but modular.

Jaslion the GPU is pretty damn long but it seems to be able to fit into the save it just takes up a lot of room in it.. what case do you have currently? I might as well get another one

M12II EVO series isn't modular version of S12II series, they are different PSUs with different design. Instead, M12II EVO series is the upgraded version of the old M12II series which was fully wired,
specs: https://seasonic.com/product/m12ii-620-gm/

Also, M12II EVO series has been around for a quite a while now.
When to talk about latest releases in Seasonic lineup then you need to look towards Focus, Focus+ and PRIME Ultra series. Of course, there are new models in the original PRIME series as well with lower efficiency (e.g 80+ Platinum and 80+ Gold).

Haven't really been paying attention to the psu market for the last couple of years. Thanks for the info
