buying a better power supply as i think my 500w power supply isnt working well with my 1070 and i7 6700k so i want to buy this cooler master power supply:

is it any good or should i stay away from it and take this one:

both are no good.

the only good powersupplies from coolermaster are the V series (made by channel well or seasonic)

what do you mean no good? as in it will blow up my pc or just it makes a noise etc
 



haha no, the voltage stability isnt that good, this can lead in blackscreens , or hardwarefailure in the future.

im using that right now so compaing to the 500w evga power supply im currently using is the cooler master one an improvement to this?
 


EVGA 500W and this is the same PSU.
And most of the CM PSU lines are kinda mediocre for their price. They use Sirfa when they were not as high quality.

As for that ignorant a#)#@)#$ who decided to make the common opinion of "get the EVGA G2", answer the damn question. Are Cooler Master PSUs good or not? I like to hear your opinion. And that's not to mention that EVGA G2 has not-so-stellar voltage stability.

aight so like im not sure but i dont think my pc is receiving enough power because its starts up slow and my fps in games isnt as high as i am seeing
 


its true if a powersupply is poor , it cannot deliver enough amps to fully deliver the card his peformance.
But that is not the case for you.

Nevertheless i think it is a very clever decision to replace your powersupply with those specifications!!!

ok ill get the power supply the person previously has recommended
 


Highly doubt its anything to do with the psu, even though that evga you have is mediocre quality it has enough power for those components.

That said, with nearly £700 worth of cpu & gpu you absolutely SHOULD replace it anyway with something better.

As stated the CM g750 altough not as bad as some replies on here would suggest still is nowhere near the best choice at that kind of price.

you absolutely 100% do not need to go above 650w ,even a good 550w is plenty.
To keep you happy though ( bearing in mind that a 650w has near 300w of reserve power for what youre running)

Probably your best priced 650w gold psu there is in the uk at the minute,not the absolute best there is but fairly rock solid superflower manufactured unit & far better than the coolermaster at the same price.




 


thats a really bad habbit to have.

So you have never heard of a brand , so youre not going to buy them.

Well in this case to let you know Seasonic is the best manufacturer in the world when it comes to powersupplies.
Theyre that good evga and corsair buy seasonic their powersupplies, and put their sticker(brand) on top of a seasonic powersupply and sell it again.
