will be building a Ryzen PC for a mate probably a 1300x or 1500x, prefer to have faster default clock speed, rather than overclock. will be paired with a 6gb GTX 1060, and a few HDD. can someone (ok i know its going to be pasty) recommend a triplet of PSUs from budget up to dogs twitcher.. im trying to found out his existing PSU in the mean time on the off chance its usable.

There are hardly any deal on this week so wait until tomorrow when the "this week only" deals update in the afternoon. The Superflower Platinum Kings haven't featured for a couple of weeks so must be due to be on offer again soon.

right ive found the existing PSU, it says its bronze and has 504w on the 12v rail, and a review seems ok ?

It's just a mediocre budget psu with cheap internals. The only truly good psu's that Coolermaster has ever had were the Seasonic built V and VS series and Enhance built Silent Pro Gold series. I personally wouldn't touch any of their other units. The one he has will do the job but it's nothing special.

i bought this one, as i wanted to get PC complete, seemed the best value wasnt bothered about modular, probably a little overkill for power but there is nothing that much cheaper anyway..

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Super Flower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black= £69.95

Total: £69.95
(includes shipping: £0.00)
