Looking For A New Quiet PSU!

[Spinny99]

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a new PSU, to replace my loud EVGA SuperNova. I need at least 850w I think, considering I'm running two cards and may add a 3rd in the future. I also would like it to be EXTREMELY quiet, and fully modular. I need it to be no more than 160$ or so. Cheaper the better.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

A 750w unit is plenty for your system. Get a COrsair, Antec, XFX, Seasonic 650w unit.

I recommend the Corsair HX or AX line for high quality. XFX also has some very good units.

You cannot add a third card on that motherboard so don't worry about it.

I have a Seasonic X750 Gold and it's well worth the extra money I paid for it.

Of course if the OP wants some truly fanless options there's always:

Thanks for the replies. What do you guys think about a PSU like this?

It's pretty cheap, and almost everything is modular I think. I'm just not sure if it's quiet...

I also found this, but I'm really not sure what it is. Would it do anything?

It is a very high quality unit. It will likely be quiet enough, NOTHING with a fan will ever be silent. This is important to remember.

I highly doubt this will do anything.

Okay, I'll watch some videos on it, but I'll go with that unless I can't get a deal on an AX or HX Corsair PSU.

Thanks for your help and time!
