FSP Group Hyper 700W psu any good ?

[thomas_30]

Ok so i have a fx-6300 at 4.5 GHz with a 750 ti i am looking at upgrading to a sapphire R9 390 but i have a 500 watt power supply that i"m selling to a friend for a server. i don't have a lot of money to get a new power supply and i don't want to have to get a 970 instead due to it's lower power consumption. So I've been looking at cheaper psu's. I found a cheap psu and i was wondering if someone who understand's these sort of low money situations and with the knowledge who can give me a practical answer to this problem without turning round and saying buy a $300 evga power supply because not everyone gets to pay $2 for titan x's in there country. would this power supply be suitable for my needs without it being super rubbish/dodgy

No, it is not a good quality power supply. With an R9 390, you should not be looking at "cheap" PSUs. That is not a cheap card. For the PSU, I recommend this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Power Supply: FSP Group Hydro G 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($81.50 @ Newegg)
Total: $81.50
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

i live in new zealand did you have a look at the other psu's there

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I'm not familiar with that site (like to keep my PC malware-clean) but if you tell me a price you have in mine in New Zealand currency I'll recommend a unit from a New Zealand vendor.

i would like to get a psu around $100 new zealand dollars that would be good with 1 r9 390's

These are your options:

All of which are poor quality for that price. If I have to recommend one around there, this is the only one I would think of recommending:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Power Supply: Antec 700W ATX Power Supply ($109.25 @ PC Force)
Total: $109.25
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-03-06 16:43 NZDT+1300

I really think you should be willing to spend more on a higher quality PSU. Such as:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Power Supply: Cooler Master VS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($160.55 @ PC Force)
Total: $160.55
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Yes it is.

how would you compare the antec 700watt to an enermax naxn 500watt

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I am unsure of the differences. I can't even find a review for the Antec, but other VP units have been decent, so it's probably your best shot. The Enermax I'm not sure, but would not run that with your system.

right now i own the enermax naxn 500watt and it's great for me it's quiet, never crashes and low heat output so if i can compare the 2 great
