Is a 600W EVGA 80+ good enough for an RX 580 and a 3770 non K?

And is it a big enough upgrade from an RX 470 GAMING S X 4GB?

I have a 144hz 1080p FreeSync Monitor

650w is ok if you plan to upgrade ur rig to something MUCH better in the future, if not 550w is more than enough for what you have right now.

750w is a total waste unless u'r planning on running a gtx 1080 sli configuration/watercooling/5 fans/LOTS OF RGB LIGHTS/ and overcklocking everything to max, which i doupt you do.

also i don't know where you were looking for those reviews... but as i said they are on his site.

650w cq...


I would recommend against that PSU, it's not a good unit.

Here are some better units.

u can go with a 500w power supply if you wanted, i suggest going with one of those jankerson linked above this and remember that the way the cables look does influence ur builts premium look.

if you have a windowed case, i suggest going with modular, black braided cables, ur case will end up looking a lot better and cable managment will be a walk in the park.

also i suggest looking at http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews before purchasing any psu, jonny is the LEADER when it comes to psus, i don't buy a psu he hasnt reviewed with 9,5 or +



 
Hi guys thanks for your answer,

I currently have this PSU and I live in the UK, could you possibly link me any UK retailers for these PSUs?

I was looking at the EVGA GQ 650/750w or the RM650/750x PSUs but can’t find any JonnyGuru reviews, does that mean to avoid them? Thanks

650w cq http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=454
rm650i :http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=445
i don't raccomand those doe

get a tier 1 psu:

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

the best tear 1 psu price to performance right now is the EVGA 650w b3

it is fully modular, has black braided cables, awesome internal quality, 5 year EVGA warranty, it's a tier 1 module on linuss list and only costs 69€

u can also look at the corsair vengeance 650w, but it doesn't have some of the bells and whisles of the evga module still tier 1 doe

here is the review of the evga b3:http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=526

remember his complaint was the price, which was much higher at the time he reviewd the thing, now? it's MUCH cheaper making it a no brainer for me
