Recommendations For New PSU, 50 Series GPU

[GhostSeven]

I currently have a beQuiet 850w Pure Power 12, just upgraded to AM5 9800X3D in prep for getting a 50 series card in Jan / Feb.

I appreciate that I am going to be be on the lower end with my current PSU and am looking for recommendations on a good 1000W (I assume) PSU to swap in. I was looking at the beQuiet Dark Power 13 ones but have really heard some mixed reviews about them being noisy or worse faulty. I know seasonic is often recommened but not sure where to buy and at what price point (is plat / titanum worth is over gold etc). I am looking for as low noise (both in fan and whine) as I can get but also keen to pay for something that is good quality even if I need to pay more for that.

Thanks for any advice.

5080 and below your 850w PSU will be absolutely fine to use.

Oh really, the plan is to go for 5080 (I think the 5090 will be just too expensive). That is some nice news I was expecting to have to go to 1000 or more for some headroom.

Power draw up to 450w for the 5080 , 600w for the 5090 so you should be fine with 850w for the 5080 . The GPU will come with a 16pin to 3xi pin adapter so older PSU work.


If you definitely want a bigger PSU you can get the NZXT C Series 1200W Full Modular PCIe 5.0 80+ Gold Power Quiet Supply/PSU ATX3.0 for £120 .

Gold rated is fine anything above that is margins of efficiency.

Thank you Micky, that is really helpful, thank you for taking the time to respond.
