Hello,
I just created an account for this question. Nice to meet you all.
I recently purchased some parts for a new gaming build. And I would like to upgrade the GPU in the near future, preferably a RTX 3070 or 3080 assuming I can save enough coins for either of those.
CPU: i5-11400
motherboard: ASUS B560M-A
RAM: G.Skill 16X2 3200MHz - XMP activated
GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Ti EVO TOP Edition (from the old rig - hoping for an upgrade next year)
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 2TB
temporarily using Zalman zm-550-XG PSU (I don't know how old it is - from a local garage sale PC. Works well though)
Windows 10 Home
I would like to buy a good 850W PSU for this build and I can't decide what to buy.
Choosing from the tier A from the "tier list" on this forum, and based on today's price on newegg, I would like to choose among these 4 models. The price spread is 40 USD.
Seasonic Focus GX 850W (10yr) 90 USD
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GT (7yr) 100USD
Corsair RM850 white (10yr) 110 USD
Corsair RM850x (10yr) 130 USD
I would like to know if all tier A models are pretty much similar in terms of quality and robustness, so I can simply go by prices, or whether higher price units have any advantages, and if so, whether the advantages are worth the price. Please help me choosing one so I can buy one soon.
Thank you.
