Ideal PSU for new build

Minibiker · 1 Mar 2017 at 15:06

Hi all

Going to order some of my new parts tonight, just want to know what power supplies you'd recommend to me, I want it to be fully modular, I'm only planning on running one GPU for now and will OC at some point!!

Thank you

This.
My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Super Flower Leadex GOLD 550W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply - Black= £79.99

Total: £90.49
(includes shipping: £10.50)

Only bad thing about it is lt lights up like a christmas tree from the PSU connections. May be a problem as regards asthetics if you plan on getting a windowed case.

That's one of the PSU's I have had in mind as I had that in my old build, the White LED's may be a issue as I am going for the inwin303 case

In that case:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Super Flower Leadex II 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £99.95
1 x EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £97.99
1 x EVGA SuperNova G3 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £129.95

Total: £338.99
(includes shipping: £11.10)

These sockets dont light up.

Ahhh that's great thank you, will add one of these to my build! Would it be best to order all my bits then build or build as I buy?

For the sake of Warranty, its best to order all at once.

Ok thank you for the help bud

The Bitfenix Whisper M series are very worthy of consideration too. They are very keenly priced and all have 7 year warranties. What components are you looking at? As long as you are not going SLI or Crossfire 550w would be more than enough. If you are going multi card then that would depend on which cards you will be using.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Bitfenix Whisper M Series 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £77.99
1 x Bitfenix Whisper M Series 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £84.95

They are very well priced for fully modular, will have to find some reviews on them...

I won't be crossfiring or SLI my build....

I'm looking at these parts

Inwin303 case

Intel i7 CPU (not sure which one)

16GB DDR4 Team Group Vulcan 3000mhz

Corsair SP120 Fans x5

1tb HDD

250GB Samsung EVO ssd

Corsair H110i

That's what I'm thinking so far will order majority of it tonight
