I'll upgrade from a Phenom II 955 & R9 270 to a i7 8700k and 2080. I'm kind of stuck with what PSU I should buy for them.

Currently I have a Sirtec High Power Element 500W 80+ Bronze.

I find those 3, what would you guys recommend me to buy:

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 80 PLUS Gold (650W) Fully Modular (90€)
Corsair RM 650x 80 PLUS Gold (650W) Fully Modular (97€)
Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze (750W) Semi Modular (94€)


After searching a little bit more, I found some 750W Gold Plus ones that costs 15 € more than the 650W Gold Plus ones and I need some recommandations on these also, please.

Corsair RM 750x 80 PLUS Gold (750W) Fully Modular (112€)
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G + 80 Plus Gold (750W) Fully Modular (105€)
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3 80 Plus Gold (750W) Fully Modular (110€)


I really don't the difference between the G3 and G+ from EVGA and I need some support if anyone can give me some :).

Thanks.

Why not the EVGA G3 550 or Corsair RM550x? If you're overclocking a 650W PSU is more than enough, otherwise a 550W will be fine.

The Corsair RMx and EVGA G3 are great. Personally I prefer the RMx as it's quieter and includes better protections.
The Bitfenix Whisper and Be Quiet Straight Power 11 are usually very nice options in Europe.

The G+ uses a completely different design to the EVGA G3.
