I'd go for 500 watts or more...and personally I buy Seasonic and Corsair....but here is the tier list.

The better power supplies are at the top....the worst at the bottom.

Thanks guys. been digging around. and lot of recommended PSU are simply out of stock here in western Europe. probably due to the pandemic. so i had to aim a little higher, and i came across these two. i'm hesitating because there's 40€ difference between the two, and i'm wondering if the titanium is really worth these extra bucks. i made a calculation at seasonic site to know my power consumption, and counting large, they told me i had a 403W load, thus they recommend me a 453W PSU. this is why i'm going after a 650W, that should be largely enough

Seasonic 650W platinum (10 years warranty)

Seasonic 650W titanium (12 years warranty)

Honestly both are very very good. I would not spend the extra on the titanium.

I would go for either one.
I think they're both very good.

Another saying both are excellent, I’d get the cheaper.

try a EVGA 430W 80 PLUS power supply SabertoothTiger had one and it worked with his amd chip computer so it should work fine with ur PC setup

 

[NightHawkRMX]

No, please do not do that.

Either SeaSonic is infinitely better than the W1 430w

How were the fireworks ? LMAO

Seasonic 650W platinum (10 years warranty)
Seasonic 650W titanium (12 years warranty)

Both terribly overpriced, get this :

I've tried to link it to you in my first reply but for some reason both links went to Corsair which is already out of stock.
