7980XE +1080Ti PSU Reccomendations

Morning a'll. I'm in a little bit of a dilemma as it seems everywhere is out of stock on PSUs including OCUK on what I want. So I'm boding the question to you all here what would you recommend.

Build is this.

I9 7980xe
Asus Rampge VI Extreme
64gb RAM
1080Ti
3x M.2, 2x SATA SSD, 2x5400 Platter drives.

I was thinking the Seasonic Platinum

CableMod custom cable support would be nice to save me sleeving.

These are all in stock and have 2 x CPU (EPS) cables for your motherboard (is it Extreme or Apex by the way?). You'll have to check for cable support.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Seasonic Snow Silent 750W '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply - White= £179.99
1 x Seasonic Prime Titanium 750W 80 Plus Titanium Modular Power Supply= £174.95
1 x Seasonic Prime Platinum 750W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply= £164.99
1 x Corsair HX750i 750W '80 Plus Platinum Digital Modular Power Supply (CP-9020072-UK)= £159.95
1 x Seasonic P Series 760w '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply= £159.95
1 x Seasonic Prime Gold 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £144.95
1 x EVGA SuperNova G3 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £132.95
1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 750W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply= £124.99
1 x EVGA SuperNova G2 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £124.99
1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £109.99

Total: £1,500.20
(includes shipping: £22.50)

I'd probably go with the cheapest of the list if it has the cables you want. It has a ten year warranty.

Edited OP to show Extreme board. Those 750w won't e enough to handle an OC IMO. She's a power hungry CPU.

Are you going custom watercooling? If so, and you're going to pump all the volts it can take, then 850/1000W.

Seasonic Snow Silent 1050w

Corsair hx1200i

EVGA Supernova 1200 P2.

Those are the 3 I've made to the short list. She will be on a custom loop. I'm thinking the Seasonic 1050 as she's white the same as my case and GPU.

this one will be good or the EVGA supernova 1200 P2

750w not good enough for your needs mate.

Corsair hx1200i

EVGA Supernova 1200 P2.

Those were my 3 options I boiled it down to. Seasonic only because it's white and my build focuses on white.

Also have the 1500HX and EVGA 1500 in my mind.

super flower or EVGA are the same psu, its seems evga might use other internals on low end PSU's which your not looking for. if you can go to a 1500w either the EVGA or super flower 1600w are very nice PSU's and with 10 year warranty with EVGA
its worth it for longevity in builds to come.
