New to the forum..not the most tech savy..Advice on new PSU

[gnuhaust33]

ok so a few years ago i purchased a cyber-power PC from best-buy..its run many games flawlessly without a single upgrade which im rather impressed by...ive heard a number of bad things about cyberpower Pcs shortly after i purchased mine..but assume i was one of the lucky ones.
That being said ive just started playing planetside 2 and during a recent gaming session my computer just restarted itself...ive read alot on here and it could be my PSU...so my question is..im currently using XtremeGear 800 watt PSU...what can i replace it with and be safe? dont have alot of cash for a highend unit..but dont want to buy crap either..HELP!

Post your full system specs so we have an idea on your wattage requirements. I'd bet a 500+ unit would suffice
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XdxFf7

 

[vrumor]

The Seasonic 520w PSU is plenty for what you need and generally is priced well around the world. Look for the cheapest place, and order it.

edit: and I see my post was redundant. bmockeg is correct, that is the one I was thinking about, not 520w. Great suggestion.

yeah sorry im still learning..hopefully you guys can set me straight...apologies

 

[why_wolf]

You can reference this list for build tier quality for PSU. It's not 100% accurate but its pretty good. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

 

[COLGeek]

The aforementioned Seasonic is a good choice and will meet gnuhaust33's needs.

 

[gnuhaust33]

ok i was thinking i needed to replace the 800 watt xtreme gear with another 800 watt PSU..which arnt cheap lol so anthing over 500 watts and ill be good ?

 

[COLGeek]

That is not a true 800w PSU. Any quality 500w PSU will suffice. The one recommended is an excellent choice.

 

[Rexper]

The Seasonic mentioned isn’t a good choice. Loose voltage delivery in modern systems, and lacks several important protections. 8 years ago it was okay, now there are many better options.

For budget power supplies look at the Corsair CX550M, be Quiet Pure Power 10 500w, Corsair CX550, Cooler Master MasterWatt 550, Corsair Vengeance. These PSUs usually sell for <$50 USD.
High end power supplies include the EVGA G2/G3, Corsair RMX, Bitfenix Whisper, Seasonic Focus Plus, which are usually found at ~$80 USD.

 

[COLGeek]

Rexper is mistaken about the Seasonic and has been told this before by other mods.

His other choices do provide other viable options.

 

[Rexper]

Mistake not.

Look at professional reviews.
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Antec/HCG-520/5.html this is mostly the same internally.
Line regulation is hardly good, crossload regulation isn’t loose and goes out of spec in some cases.
The S12ii use the HY510N protection IC which is missing important protections such as OCP on any rail, and UVP on the 12v rail. No OTP is implemented at all on this PSU.
Considering OP’s System, and the current price of the PSU, the S12ii aren’t worthwhile.

 

[COLGeek]

This is not a debate and is getting off track. Recommendations have been made. The OP now has several options. Let it go, Rexper.

 

[gnuhaust33]

ok ive been doing some shopping and i came across this...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0106RDIN2?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=A6K00GKSYT0ESVT5MKT6

Decent PSU. Go for it.
