PSU advise

Sencha · 8 Sep 2013 at 14:29

Hey guys,

Been researching too many PSUs so have been going round in circles after being able to read about others faults with all of them

Anyway I'm looking for something to power a 4670k & 7950gpu system. I won't be going SLI/Crossfire.

I'm looking at the "Seasonic M12II-620 620W Modular Power Supply 80+ Bronze"

Which I can get for around £70...modular would be good. Is this a good choice?

I was also looking at corsair CX600w m/750w m but was unsure about quality.

Any suggestions or pointer would be great. Many thanks for taking the time to read this

YOUR BASKET
1 x Enermax Triathlor FC 550w '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply (ETA550AWT-M) £73.99
1 x Silverstone Strider Plus 500W Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (SST-ST50F-P) £67.99
1 x BeQuiet Pure Power L8 530W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in £67.99
1 x Antec High Current Gamer 520W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
1 x Seasonic S12II 520W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
Total : £342.55 (includes shipping : £10.50).

Those are the interesting ones, some are modular, the Silverstone is lovely, the Antec is also a Seasonic under the hood.

Lots of high end PSUs from different brands are made by seasonic

Yes....I know

Go with the seasonic

can't go wrong with that!

I've read a few reviews that suggest seasonic use better components on their own branded PSUs at the pricier end.

They use better components on high end PSUs compared to budget PSUs, but their budget PSUs are still decent.

Most of the changes are cosmetic, or choice of fan, if you are comparing like with like.
