PSU for my specific spec

[MuricaCountryBall]

Hello,

First of all thanks for reading this thread,I'm not an expert in computers but I know my fair and share.

I'm currently On a vacation abroad and as always things are way cheaper here than back in my country.

Thus I decided to buy the NVIDIA - Founders Edition GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card.

Problem is I'm afraid that my psu is really bad and cannot handle the new gpu.

It's a 3rd party Element Smart 750w bronze I think, I'm not taking any chances and I want to buy a new psu.

Here is my current spec hope you could help me:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 (3.4 GHz)
RAM: 16 GB
HDD: 1 TB
SSD:264GB
Videocard: Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 4Gb Strix overclocked

Psu doesn't matter cause I want to buy a new one.

I'm looking for a nice psu from maybe antec or corsair that is able to achieve my needs for the gtx1070 and current spec.

By the way I'm already paying 400bucks on the card so I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible. Looking for a 60-80 price range.
Again thanks.

Corsair cx450m/550m +yes even the 450 is enough)
Corsair vengeance 550
Antec vpf550
Evga g2 550
Evga gq550
Evga b2 550
Xfx ts550
All good
+ anything by seasonic is always good.

All good choices here I would try to get the EVGA or Seasonic, 550 Watts will run what you have easy. You can check the 650 watt models also sometimes their actually lower price.

Thanks for the fast solutions,I'm buying the gpu from the FL Miami "BestBuy" store,it might not have the specific psu you offer so if you could offer multiple I might be able to find them. Thanks

What about the
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-cards-components/computer-power-supplies/abcat0507009.c?id=abcat0507009

EVGA - 650W Modular BQ Power Supply - Black

Will it be fine for my specs and the gtx 1070?
It's 650W so it should be fine

First off to save you some money, show them this link.
http://www.microcenter.com/product/467527/GeForce_GTX_1070_Turbo_8GB_GDDR5_PCIe_Video_Card
They will price match at bestbuy, At micro center the Founders edition is going for 369.00. Since Micro center has store they will have to give it to you for that 369 price. Not including tax of course, you can do the same with the power supply. Trying to save you money buddy

 

[madmatt30]

The bq is mediocre at best mate.
The GQ 650 is $82 on there & absolutely worth that extra money for a top quality unit.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-650w-atx-modular-gq-power-supply-black/5597200.p?skuId=5597200


I doubt they'll match a micro centre price seeing as microcenter don't have a store in Florida let alone in Miami.
Still worth trying though.

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

Burtman88 I'm sorry for not understanding,this is my first time shopping for parts in Miami and in BestBuy overall,are you saying that if I show that link to Best Buy they will lower the price guaranteed?

 

[burtman88]

They will even match amazon prices that ship from amazon warehouse. i've been using it for years lol. I just noticed i showed a asus FE version, anyways sometimes they are dumb will match. I am trying to find you a better deal for a 1070. i love my 1070 make sure you will as well.

 

[burtman88]

Yep, the model number will have to match some will just see the pic of it and match it others will go more in depth. Do you only want the Founders because of the price?

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

If I will get my head sorted today I will make the purchase today,my father agreed to pay he rest,I got he 170 dollars from working and he agreed to pay the rest of the 400 bucks.
With the known problem of the psu I'm trying to get the gpu and psu as heap as possible without any quality damage of some sort.

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

Yes I am looking for the fe for the price. I'm limited with money,cause while I am paying 170 dollars my dad pays the rest of the gpu and psu.

Again sorry for the pain in the ass but it seems kind of odd that I show up next to the seller and show him this link,automatically he will understand to lower the price? Seems kind of odd.

Or is it a machine that looks at the unit number and understands.

They price match amazon & newegg online prices - not micro centre though.

They should price match the MSI armour for $380 .

They should also price match that evga GQ 650.

 

[burtman88]

Yah for once Best buy has better prices then micro center power supply wise

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

So far Burt got me a nice gpu price at 370 which is awesome.
I show them this link http://www.microcenter.com/product/467527/GeForce_GTX_1070_Turbo_8GB_GDDR5_PCIe_Video_Card

And about the psu I go with what I posted? I'm looking for a 70 dollar psu or maybe less if possible

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

Will they price match this as well? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KVZBNY0/ref=mp_s_a_1_87?ie=UTF8&qid=1491225243&sr=8-87&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gtx+1070&dpPl=1&dpID=5106W58qESL&ref=plSrch

By the picture that is the older green lable CXM and not a good power supply. The newer ones have a white lable and is acceptable quality.

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

Then what PSU can you give me that is 70 dollars for my spec and the gtx 1070 Asus or evga

My friend told me the CXM are not that good,main problem is that their cable short,and 'burn'. Attempting to avoid them.

Your friend lied the new CXM power supplies work just fine.
The old green lable were bad the new white lable are just fine.

 

[burtman88]

that's miss leading my CX750M has been great for the past 2 years, running everything fine. I used to have it paired with 580 gtx. Now it's the MSI ex x 1070 gtx. 2600k at 5 ghz. 5 fans that run at 3300 rpm, full custom liquid cool loop. so far zero issues

 

[MuricaCountryBall]

I bought now from bestbuy the corsair CX750M new edition that they fixed,spoke with my friend when I grabbed it. Thanks I got the PSU not what's left is to order from Amazon the gps cause the price match is only for members prime
