Willing to buy seasonic focus plus

baha2 · Feb 15, 2018

I am thinking of buying a seasonic focus plus PSU because it seems a good money value, but before I buy is there something that I should put in mind before?
Also any recommendations on other PSUs in same price range?
Here is a link for the one that I will mostly buy it

Seasonic Focus Plus is very good choice, but you don't need 750 W - 550 W will be enough.

DRagor :

thanks,
but in xfx page the minimum requirement for the gpu is 750W?

That is only because they are assuming the average user buys junk PSU so have that extra ceiling better the chance of the PSU being up to the challenge. If you go with Seasonic PSU you should be fine.

As it happens, XFX also makes PSUs, and making the requirement higher makes you buy higher power PSU, hopefully their PSU, and that means more money for them. See this answer, it has graphs with power usage of your card: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1919131/power-requirements-xfx-280x-confused.html#12128410
