is a 750 watt power supply pretty future proofed? here is the one im looking at great deal https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16817182294?Item=N82E16817182294
ya but look at the price, wowThe EARLY multi-rail Rosewill 850W PFC PSUs were good, though.
I gutted one to make a quick bench power supply for the garage, when I moved my lab power supply into the house.....still going strong, and over 10 years-old, now.
Go with one of the Corsair HM-series PSUs and you'll be happy.
ya but the priceNah, no card now needs more than a solid 600w or so.
That isn't a particularly good unit anyhow.
thats true, ok what do you suggest?There's a reason it's cheap.
Its not so cheap if it fails and takes your system with it.
which psu do you suggest?The EARLY multi-rail Rosewill 850W PFC PSUs were good, though.

how does this psu look? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cooler...c-dc-technology-black/6333805.p?skuId=6333805Might I add that ARC is a bad name for a power supply.
I mean arcs generally cause bad things, burning, fire, etc. Why would you want to associate your power supply with a fire starter?
I agree Corsair makes some great HXI and RMX psus that would work amazingly aswell.
ok, thanksYour best bet is to go over this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i6gYAlEEB8Wpbr4E3jY3ctuYvNR5SiuokzPLb5WiQlw/edit#gid=0 and pick a "Tier-1" or "Tier-2" PSU and shop prices on those, instead of shopping price then looking at quality after finding something.
ill probably go for the seasonic, i heard they are the best, and that the warrantys are great.$75 https://www.newegg.com/evga-750-gq-210-gq-0750-v1-750w/p/N82E16817438060?Item=N82E16817438060&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC--na--na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&cjevent=5380d32996d111e981b800430a240612

im currently using a evga 600w certified non modular psu.Full system specs? What is exact make/model of your current PSU?
full specs are, ryzen 1700x cpu, gtx 1070 video card, 32gb of ddr4 3000mhz corsair vengeance pro rgb ram, asus prime b40m motherboard, corsair h100i v2 liquid cooler. 250gb m.2 nvme ssd drive, two 1 tb 7200 rpm hard drives.Full system specs? What is exact make/model of your current PSU?
here is my power supply https://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-6...us-power-supply-black/8511029.p?skuId=8511029Full system specs? What is exact make/model of your current PSU?
so a 750w should be plenty enough? or should i go higher? i want to future proof.550W is plenty for those specs, but if there isn't much a price difference to go to 650W it certainly wouldn't hurt.
what do you think of my current power supply?650W is enough for nearly any single GPU system you could build today, and CPUs and GPUs aren't really getting any more power hungry so I don't see much need in getting a higher capacity for the sake of future proofing. But if you really want to get a 750+W PSU there's nothing wrong with that other than it'll cost more.
