New PSU Selection help

[James_B]

Hey guys, so I'm currently updating my current rig. I'm looking to run an i5-4690 along with an R9 390, a couple of SSD's and HDD's, the usual peripherals (gaming keyboard, mouse etc) and I wanted to make sure I'll have enough power to do so.
I'm currently looking at getting a corsair 650w vs.
I'm confident it will have more have than enough power, but I just wanted to double check with you guys. Thanks in advance.

It will serve you well, but something like Seasonic would serve you even better

Ahh okay, thanks for the input. Do you think I could get away with a 550w? As my budget is a little tight with it being so close to Christmas.

The Corsair VS series is already fairly low quality and has 50A on the 12Volt rail so 600Watts of power on that rail I would not go any lower than the 650 Watt power supply to use with that video card.

What Corsair model are you looking at low end ones are poor quality.

Stay away from VS , CX , CSM , CXM.

Ahh I was looking at 2 models you stated in the above post (VS firstly, then I moved onto the CSM), I've just checked the PSU out you posted and it fits perfectly into my budget, I was looking around the £70 mark.

The G2 is the best , made by the best in the industry , Super Flower.

I had trouble finding those below £70, one was £78 and the other I can't find.

Was is your thoughts on this model - http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Power-Supply/dp/B00LMAUZ6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448822382&sr=8-1&keywords=650w+80+gold

G1 isn't as good.

Cooler Master 650 W 120 mm VS Series Hybrid Modular Fan

Also a good one.

 

[James_B]

So I'll definitely be upping my budget here, would you say the last post was the best of all the ones you have suggested then or one of the earlier ones?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The EVGA G2 is the best.

Okay then, thank you very much for the help
