Need a reliable PSU for this monster .....

[Ahmad Moheb]

Hey guys , I need your recommendations for a budget high quality psu for
CPU:FX-8320
GPU:MSI R9 280X GAMING 6G
I have no intentions to crossfire or SLI in the future , but I may upgrade my card to a high-end one .

 

[Suztera]

So what is your budget?
Also I wouldn't recommend the R9 280X 6GB. The R9 290X or GTX 970 would have been a better buy.

 

[Ahmad Moheb]

It was on sale for 269$ 😀 😛
My budget is around 135$

dont worry, 280x is still a great gpu and will work well for 1-2 years before it gets old

get this evga psu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438030

its a tier A 850w 80 plus bronze psu with a capability od delivering 70amps on a single 12v rail

Any Seasonic,Corsair or XFX 600W 80 plus bronze will be sufficient and with much headroom to overclock

The minimum you can spend to get a decent psu is this:

620W will be enough for any single gpu upgrade.
You can get higher priced psu if you want though.

They all good psu expect the Corsair CX series. To be fair you don't need the 850W since you not going to SLI/crossfire.

i donot recommend roswill psu unless the system is low end

corsair cx is ok.. its a tier B psu.. it will work well.. but its not the best at lifespan and durability

evga g2 is an improved version of b2 (the one i linked)

ps : i suggested an 850w psu because you mentioned that you will be upgrading to a top end gpu in the future

 

[Ahmad Moheb]

so ''gold'' labeled on those Rosewill models I listed , doesn't mean high efficiency , durability and quality ?

It's a good looking one , thanks bro .

Rosewill Capstone series are Tier 2 A, they are not using cheap components either.

PSU Tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

A top end gpu shouldn't need 850W.... 650W will be fine. Only Crossfire and SLI gpus will need 850W.

 

[blacksheep123]

80 plus bronze, silver, gold and platinum are only for effeciency

it doesnt vouch for durability or quality... a company can build the worst built psu with 80 plus gold efficiency if they want to
