Need advice for a PSU !!!
Hello all. I'm building for a good friend a gaming rig and i'm stuck at the PSU (which model to buy)... I have like 100 Euros (+10E) to spend on it... The rest of the specs are AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, MSI 890GXM-G65, 2x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance RED 1600Mhz Cl7, Sapphire ATI HD6950 2GB, 1Tb WD Black, LG DVD-RW, 24" LED.
I got some PSU models here in my town. This are my choices: 1. ADATA 750W HM - 105 Euros 2. SEASONIC SS-850HT - 90 Euros 3. CORSAIR GS 800W - 110 Euros 4. CHIEFTEC 750W Super - 110 Euros Thanks and i must decide which PSU i have to buy till thursday !!! |

I would definitely go with an Hx unit over any GS units no matter the pricing differences, quality should not be compromised for price in a psu.

It's also fascinating how you people say he should buy a PSU not on his list. I'd say the Seasonic or the Corsair.

I am well aware of that, however if the particular model listed is not very good I feel it is better for him to be informed of that after which he can decide if he wants a more reliable model.

If the OP would have suggested a NoName 800W PSU for 40 then I would warn him, but his selection is not that bad (I don't know about A-DATA though). So, the SS or the Corsair imo.

Ever been In RO? You do not have the same choices as in US/most parts of EU. I have, in the past, been taken parts to friends there because it wasn'ts possible to get the specific model/type/brand.

How about the Cooler Master GX 750W... It's a good brand no?

Avoid the GX;
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...tory3&reid=188 Out of those, it's either the SeaSonic or the A-Data. Both the Gaming series and the Chieftec are based on CWT PSH II, which is a meh design. They aren't up there with TX v2 or AX units. The A-Data 750W was supposed to be a DSG like the HX750, better than that since it's a newer built as well. Those A-Data's perform well as you can see: http://www.kitguru.net/components/po...pply-review/6/ Or if you don't want that one, I'd shoot for the SeaSonic SS-850, which is a solid unit that's used in XFX PSU's, PCP&C Silencers and such. |

HX650 will run your system fine if you aren't going to Crossfire your graphics. If you plan to upgrade I would go with a minimum of HX750.

![]() My favorite PSUs'. I've used Seasonics for quite a while now and have never had an issue with any of them. 2 were PC Power & Cooling Silencers (750w and 610w). Tons of power on them and great voltage regulation -- even on the 80+ certified units. |
