PSU for new 1080

Pookzz · 27 Jul 2018 at 01:17

Hey guys, I need a new PSU for my new GPU that i'm about to buy, which is a 1080.
The rest of my PC is:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming Motherboard
Vulcan T-force 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250gb
1TB SSHD

Somewhere between £50-£120, maybe slightly more if it's worth.
Literally waiting to add one to my basket and send it off as there's limited availability on the 1080!

If you're still waiting Seasonic Focus Plus Golds are very well priced for high quality/performance PSU.
And actually in stock.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £89.99

Total: £100.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Solid unit, 10 year warranty, i have the 850w version in my PC

Riotoro Engima G2 650w for £67 odd if you look. Just a rebranded Focus unit with 10 yr warranty .

Thanks for the suggestions, I picked one of Focus Plus 650 Gold. I was going to get the SuperNova G2 750w 80 Plus Gold Modular, not sure if there's much difference between the 2 or if i'd even benefit from the extra 100w.

You would be fine with a 550W unit for that spec.

Eh, it's already been shipped, only £10 difference though so not a big deal. Thanks for the help though! New shiny GPU tomorrow

Thought it was one of those border ones were it's tier 1/2
Second stage isn't as strong

According to this website it is tier 2 > https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ you can see seasonic under tier 2.

Anyways i bought this psu from overclockers, as well as a pc case and blu ray optical drive

Superflower PSU's are very good, they use the best caps too.

Tannen · 10 Aug 2018 at 00:38

One thing to remember with PSUs - you're going to lose power throughput year on year as the unit gets older. Giving yourself a bit of headroom allows for some degradation over a few years, if you're not one to upgrade frequently. I usually aim for a 750W PSU for a 440W build, but you CAN get away with anything as long as it's sufficient for your system +10% or so for overhead & high strain.

Gold/Titanium efficiency is excellent but drives the price up.

jabbz · 10 Aug 2018 at 23:13

Some PSU's offer 10 years warranty so it might be best to just go for that brand even if its not the one you like.

They also have some poor psu's. You can't go off the Brand name when looking for a psu. Also any manufacturer can use high end caps if they want.
