Power Supply that will age better with time

[fiftyseven57]

I have Thermaltake Litepower 600w right now installed into my pc do you think i need to change it if i am going to buy 1070 or 1080 cause i am looking to buy these graphics card in future and maybe change motherboard in future too so my question is which one i should get that i dont have to change again at least for 3 or 4 years ?

Any suggestion guys?

And it should be under 200$ cause thats my budget limit.

My motherboard is Z68A-G45 (G3)

there are many options.
most popular would be:
* corsair RM650x (RM550x would be enough, but 650 comes with 10 years warranty)
* EVGA G2 or G3 or P2 650 watt - also comes with 10 years warranty.
they all can be found on sale for 80$. the usual price is around 100-120$. they are really excellent performers and very reliable.

Will these psu support my motherboard ?
And i do not have evga available mate in my country but i do have corsair RM series available in 750 550 850 100w
What do you think of
Corsair RM Series™ RM750 — 750 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU
And do i need more than 550w? in case i change gpu again after 2 or 3 years?

link your preferred online store, I'll have a look at what is there.
the older RM series is a bit "controversial". The RM850 is considered excellent. the lower wattage models are a bit lower end models.
IMHO, the RM650 is very good unit (and I use it personally), but some people will disagree.
You don't need over 550watt of a good PSU. It's more on the "you want" side. a typical gaming load of i7 + GTX 1080 system is about 250 watt. but it can be pushed to 350-400 with overclock and non gaming load.
The current standards limit the GPU to 300watt and most CPUs are under 150watt -> to be on a safe side with single GPU = 650 watt.
It also helps with efficiency and noise as the peak efficiency of the PSU is at 40-60% load. Good modern PSUs also feature fanless mode. in case of Corsair RM650x it's up to 260watt load -> most of the time the fan in PSU won't spin at all.

P.S.
There is nothing special about your MB. it has standard (for high end) 8pin EPS and 24pin ATX power connectors.

Here are the links mate

and i was asking about motherboard cause its an old one bought it 3 years ago thats why i was bit concerned but thanks again for clearing that up

 

[n0ns3ns3]

from those sites the RM750 seems like the best option.
it's a bit overkill, but will serve you for many years.

So i should go with corsair RM750 then mate

Are there any better PSUs on the links i sent you? Any from thermal-take or other companies?

 

[n0ns3ns3]

There are, they are just much more expensive and way overkill.
there is an XFX 1000watt psu and couple of AX from corsair. But there is no need in those PSUs unless you running multi GPU setup which is kinda pointless in our time.
