Need help picking new psu

[masternook]

My old antec 850 blew up the other day and I've been shopping around for new one.

Any one have any thoughts on this? I don't think I really need 1000w but it's on sale and I will be upgrading my system with in a year. Searching psu from a phone has not been a fun experience. Any help would be much appreciated

You can see here which PSUs are good. -> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

What are your PC specs ?

What CPU and GPU do you have?

Ya I checked out the tiered list just kind of have trouble reading it. I'm not sure what the super flower and some terms mean. Thank you guys for recommendations. Any thoughts on the one I listed? Is it on sale because of lack of quality?

I'm running gtx 670 with 2600k cpu. With 8 gigs gskill

Well most of the consumer reviewers on Amazon rave about it, but I can't find a true professional review on the internet as of yet. The company does have another model that has reviewed well and has a good reputation, but that actually means little in the world of PSUs.

The on you listed i wouldnt buy i dont find and PRO reviews so i wouldnt risk it, you can get one of the best quality PSU for less.

On the list you have tiers (how quality PSU is) , in each tier you have PSUs name and models of PSU and at the end of eacs name and model is Manufacture of PSU.

example

Tier 1 (best quality)

EVGA (Who is selling PSUs)

-SuperNova G2 / P2 / T2 (which models) / Super Flower (who actually made the PSU)

So that means EVGA SuperNova G2 / P2 / T2 series PSU are very good quality and made by Superflower (EVGA inly rebrands them and sell them under their own name)

Nice thanks for all input gonna go with the evga that two of you suggested.

Dont get 850w PSU, good 500w is enough for your build (i missed it earlier)

Get one of these two:

TIER 1 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0550v1
TIER 2 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg620m

I plan to upgrade this year. Possibly Sli my vid cards would be comfortable with 750+

 

[turbopiki]
