Would a Corsair RM 650 Be Enough For This Build?

MarkJr · 18 Dec 2014 at 23:50

Hey, I'm thinking of doing some upgrades soon and I'm just wondering if I could save a little bit of money by getting a Corsair RM 650 instead of a RM 750, just need to know if it's powerful enough to power everything.
Specs:
Corsair 750D Case
FX-6300 CPU
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P Mobo
H100i in pull
XFX R9 290 DD Edition
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

Just wondering if it's enough and if I can save some money.

Yes, unless you running dual cards or a R9 295X2.

YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA SuperNova G1 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply (120-G1-0650-XR) £69.95

Noticed the RM650 isn't in stock. Can order it anyway if that's the one you want and see if it comes in stock soon. But if it doesn't, the above would be a good alternative. 10 year warranty, fully modular, all black cabling.

I appreciate the suggestion but I'm sure it may be back in stock soon.

Are you under the impression that Corsair PSUs still = Awesome?

The EVGA likely has better internals and the cables are leagues ahead of the awful flat ones that you get with an RM.

Could you care to explain? Also, I think I'll get that SuperNova G1, it looks pretty good, and is recommended by 8pack and Gibbo.

EVGA psu's are made by Superflower so I'd go with the EVGA due to the longer warranty personally.

I thought it was only the G2s that were Superflower. Still the warranty is impressive.

The EVGA Supernova G1 NEX is not a Superflower unit. The OEM for the NEX is FSP.

It isn't the worst psu in the world, but certainly nowhere near as good as the G2/P2 models.
