Modular PSU recommendation

Uncle_Gravy · 10 Mar 2015 at 09:07

Haven't bought a PSU in a while so not quite in the loop with what's good.

My 850w xfx xxx power supply gave up the ghost yesterday, just after I installed my new GTX980, which was upsetting.

Luckily I had an old OCZ ZS 550w psu in an old build that still works and thankfully is now running my system, have dropped my OC down a little bit just incase.

The one thing i didn't like about my xfx psu was it was semi modular not fully, so I want a fully modular one.

I want to SLI my 980 at some point so more juice would be Ideal I guess but looking around Sunflower seems to get raved about, something like this looks appealing - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-019-SF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2057

Any other recommendations will be lovely.

Cheers.

Yep that'll do the job or this one which is practically the same unit but backed with a 10 year warranty.

Its the same, but it costs £5 less than what the sunflower normally costs and has 5 years extra warranty....What's the catch?

The EVGA is more appealing, I can buy braided cables off here for it. Ok i'll think about this as for now the 550w is doing the job for now, when I get paid I might take the plunge.

There's no catch, they're pretty much the exact same unit just the SuperFlower is on offer this week.

Sorry to bump this up, but noticed this is on sale http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-019-EA&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2390

Same price as the G2 850w, but its a G1 1000w, Good or bad?

Its 5yrs warrenty instead of the 10.

some will say 1000w is pointless, but not so if i'm planning to move to X99 and SLI my GTX980

very nice

It's a FSP built unit unlike the G2's which are Superflower built. It also only has a 5 year warranty compared to the G2's 10 years.

I'd go with a lower wattage SuperFlower made unit personally, but the FSP unit is still fairly solid.

Have used one SuperFlower unit before only once... and I will be getting one for mine when it goes as it was very good and costs not totally up in the sky..
