recomend a psu for me

RobTi · 30 Dec 2018 at 16:36

hi son gave me his old rig and I have ended up renewing everything bar case and psu, and thought to do the psu first as its a few years old. So I have a ryzen 5 2600 with 16gb of the team 8 ram. 2x140 & 2x120 case fans and standard cpu cooler, 1 ssd & 1 sata hard drive and 1 dvd drive and a rx580 gpu, all running stock at the moment but that can change to a mild o\c.
So seasonic calc give the following
load 418w
recommended 468w
So I was thinking do I go for a 550 ish or 650 ish supply and which one ?
Thanks

Any idea what the old PSU was? if not just buy this one.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £94.99

Total: £105.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Can't argue with the above recommendation. Considering the 10 year warranty you really can't go wrong.

Just finished a build using that PSU, and already have another running in the house - great quality and can also be set so that the fan stops when it's not required / under load.

Thanks all so I take it that even though Seasonic calc recommends 468w and allowing something extra 650 is recommended.
