Need PSU - 8pack bundle compliant!!

[magicoi]

Hi guys,

Got my hands on one of the 6700k 8Pack OC bundles.

Im relegating my current PC to the living room but swapping the gpu out for my old 970. The 1070 stays with me upstairs!

So, I need a PSU to cope with the bundle and graphics card - Any recommendations?

A good 550w unit would be more than enough but the thing is that the vast majority of 550w units that we usually spec are out of stock and have been for a good couple of weeks now. With that in mind here are some good 650w units:-


Non-modular

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Super Flower Platinum King 650W 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply - Black= £69.95

Total: £80.45
(includes shipping: £10.50)
​

​

Semi-modular

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x EVGA GQ 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £83.99

Total: £94.49
(includes shipping: £10.50)
​

​

Modular

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Super Flower Leadex Platinum 650W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - Black= £94.99

Total: £105.49
(includes shipping: £10.50)
​

​

Just be aware that the Superflower Leadex Series have bright white leds where you plug the cables in that cannot be turned off. If you have a case where the psu sit's in it's own compartment or no side window this isn't really a problem. If it will be a problem here is a alternative:-

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Corsair RM Series RM650X '80+ Gold' 650W Modular Power Supply (CP-9020091-UK)= £101.99

Total: £111.89
(includes shipping: £9.90)
​

The two Superflower units are particularly good deals at the moment and it's not very often that you get Platinum rated units popping up that cheaply.

I'll go with the Suplerflower Leadex Fully Modular Platinum then!

Thanks !

Good choice. That's a cracking deal on that psu.
