Good 750w PSU

[stl522013]

Are there any good 750w PSUs for $45 USD? Thanks.

Why would you need a 750w PSU? What are your PC specs?

i5 4460, Sapphire Tri-X OC R9 390.

Unless you luck into a rare, crazy sale, any 750W PSU you find for $45 isn't really a 750W PSU. Do you actually need 750W?

 

[stl522013]

That is what Sapphire reccomends. A lot of people are fine with 650w but seeing as this build isn't for me, I would prefer to not take chances.

You'd be fine at 600W, Though that's also a tough price point even for 600W. The least expensive 600W I'd put in my PC without being threatened by a crazy man with a knife is the Corsair CX 600 (PC Part Picker has that at $47.98 right now). The least expensive 600W I'd be happy to have in my PC would be the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze at $59.99.

(Manufacturers tend to inflate the PSU requirements to give some headroom due to the torrent of crap PSUs out there)

If you're determined to get a 750W, using the example above, the least expensive I'd be willing to use without threats of imminent violence would be the Corsair CX750M at $54.99 and the least expensive I'd be happy about is the XFX Pro750W at $62.98.

Agreed, 45$ is a little less for a quality PSU, there was a 750w B2 PSU at NCIX for just 44$ but unfortunately it is out of stock as of today. Might wait for 5-7 days more for it to come in stock. Very good deal.

750W G2, Which is a Top class 750w PSU is just 78$. Good deal on it at NCIX.

Yeah, I had the B2 on there, but it went up. But since it is just out of stock, I will tell my friend and let him make a decision.

Sadly, the date on that sale appears to have elapsed.

Not surprising it's out of stock considering that's an absurdly good deal for $44!

The short answer would be "hmmmmmmmmmmm no...." not unless you got the mother of all rebates/deals.

I currently use a Antec TP-750C with dual gtx 970's and a 4770k. Under gaming use my UPS rarely reports a sustained usage above 500W or so with peaks around 600W. Under stress testing I have seen sustained usage at about 700W and peaks around 780W. I've been using this PSU for about a year now and it doe not show any signs of failing. For a single card, you would more then likely not need anything over 550~600W for regular use.

If you ever plan to add a second card I would definitely look into a 650W+ supply. Also, thoroughly research the UL information and read into the reviews for any cumbersome level feedback.

He said he will wait for it to come back in stock. If it doesn't for a while I am sure he will be good with spending an extra $15.

 

[stl522013]

Just checked. It is back in stock lol.

 

[SPgamer007]

Tell him to order it soon.

I am.

Whenever I go to the link to the B2 that you sent me it says $44. When I go to NCIX from PC Part Picker it says $60.

If moneys tight the 600 b1 will do the job.

His link is an old one with a savings code for an extra $15 off which expired yesterday.

! Special price ends 01/18/2016

 

[SPgamer007]

In the website it says it is available till 31st jan 2016 though.

Anyways, that seasonic 620w is a good option for extra 15$

 

[madmatt30]

^ couldn't agree more - tell your mate if he can afford a 390 he can afford a $60 PSU - skimping on anything less is erring on the side of stupidity ;-)

Mail in rebate yes,but to get to ~$45 was there a promo code too,that expired,the psu is still ~$60 with the rebate and would still be a good choice for that money.
