Best 600w+ power supply under $65

[djett427]

Hey guys! I'm extremely worried about my new build with a viotek 850w psu. I want to get a new, reputable power supply for my build. It doesn't matter if it is modular, semi-mod, or non-mod. I'm just looking for the cheapest 600w power supply I can get from a good brand. So what are your all's suggestions? Thanks!

That is great! But, I don't have the time to do rebates!

This is a good PSU, not as great as the Seasonic, XFX or EVGA models but will do the job just fine.

If you dont want to do rebates, that Hive is about the best you can do.
I recommend putting up with them this time however, as the EVGA unit is higher wattage, semi modular, and great quality.

Does your system really need a 600W PSU, what are your specs?

For around $55 you could go with a XFX PRO 550W unit.

The Valens series is new and doesn't have the strong warranty as the capstone, but from the only review I've seen from this series as long as you keep it cool it should run fine. 500W, Gold rated, and only $60 no rebate.

Yes, I really need a 600w PSU. I plan on a crossfire with 2 Sapphire R9 270x's.

That looks good! Probably much much better than my sketchy viotek 850w.

The 270X's are what, 175W cards? Two would be 350? Add in a 125W AMD CPU (guessing worst case as you didn't give system specs and you are up to 475. I use 50W for the rest of the system and some cushion, so that brings you to 525. According to Amazon's link it has 46A on the 12V rail, or 552W. That's REALLY closet to the max. You might want to get a 750W.

What would you recommend?

 

[4745454b]

More money for a 750W.

This will power with ease and not that expensive.

Is there anything cheaper?

 

[4745454b]

Nothing worth while.

yes, not running two 270x cards

Well, looks like I will be spend more $$$. What do you recommend?

 

[4745454b]

The one I linked. One of the best 750Ws you can buy, and not expensive at all. It's only ~$15(?) over budget?

 

[4745454b]

I was surprised, it's only ~$10 more then other 750W bronze units. Which have shorter warranties. For $75 it's one of the best CF/SLI PSUs you'll find. AND no rebate.

The thing that really gets me though, is that it isn't modular at all.

grab a $2 bag of zip ties, you will probably use all the cables but 2-3

Good idea

It doesn't matter if it is modular, semi-mod, or non-mod. I'm just looking for the cheapest 600w power supply I can get from a good brand.

I'm sorry, I thought you said you didn't care. All the good modular ones are over $100, which is a much larger price increase. Seeing as you'd be using so many cables anyways, I don't feel it's worth the increase in price.

Very true.
