Im looking for advice and opinions on 750w power supplies. My EVGA Supernova 650w is failing after barely 2 years, so I am hesitant to buy the 750w.

I have been considering the Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750FX 750W 80+ Gold.

As well as the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80+ Gold

^I dont care about the RGB because I have a psu shield in my case and wont be able to see it anyways.

I have already looked up my components and a 750w is what I want.

Any advice, experience, or opinion is welcome and appreciated.

My Seasonic PSU failed within 3 years with very light workloads (not even heavy gaming) and fried the motherboard with it. Lucky for me, the motherboard was still under warranty while I put together the system together at the same time. I would never trust SeaSonic. KEEP LOOKING! go through Tier PSU list and go from the Tier 1 to Tier 2 whichever one you can afford.

What are your specs? I’d just like to see, I’m fine if you are set on 750w

Well, based on the PSU you currently have I'm not surprised that it failed. The G1 series is significantly lower quality than the G2 and G3 series as far as EVGA PSUs go. As I said before, the Seasonic PSU is fine, there are only a few niche cases of them failing as with most quality power supplies. Here are some good options:

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2
Corsair RM750X
FSP Hydro G 750W

All of these plus the Seasonic Focus Plus are all tier 1 PSUs and very high quality. Shouldn't expect to see any issues with any of them.

I picked up a modular v650 not long ago. Really great psu, I’d definitely recommend one. I GURANTEE you won’t need anything over 650....
