[SOLVED] PSU Advice

[Mark Dunstan]

I've had a Corsair VS 550w orange label psu for the last 5 years, and have had no problems powering my i54590 and gtx 970, but I recently upgraded the gpu to a RTX 2060. I've been hearing bad things about my orange label psu, which has me worried. Any decent suggestions for one in the £80-£90 region? I was thinking about upgrading my i5 to a 4790k at some point, but the psu perhaps ought to be changed first? Thanks for any suggestions. I was thinking about the Corsair TX650M 650W 80 PLUS Gold psu as it falls right on budget at £89...

I would definitely recommend upgrading to that that PSU.

Cheers! Any thoughts on the Seasonic Focus GM-650 650W 80+ GOLD psu, as that is right on budget as well?

Both are good but the Corsair TXM is a proven reliable PSU.
