That's not so old you need to worry about anything. Budget? Location?

 

[bangason]

I'm from philippines sir

 

[DSzymborski]

What are the rest of the parts? The GPU is absolutely crucial to determining what output PSU you need. As is your budget; unfortunately quality power supplies are going to be on the expensive side where you are.

 

[bangason]

No gpu yet, just using apu. But planning to buy one

 

[4745454b]

Budget? What GPU are you looking at buying?

 

[bangason]

9k to 10k in philippine peso, planning to buy gtx 750ti or gtx 1050.

Seasonic is about the only PSU brand I can say if you see one go for it. Otherwise let as know what they have and we can tell you which to get and which to avoid.

i asked one store they said that they got silverstone and corsair

 

[bignastyid]

With corsair avoid the VS series and most of the CX series(only the 450, 550 and 650w units are decent). The Vengeance, TXm, RMx, RMi, AX, AXi, HX, HXi are good.

Silverstone is alot more hit and miss they have units that are garbage and ones that a great and you can get that mix in the same series as they use many different OEMs for the same series. So you have to go by specific models.

they got corsair vs650 and silverstone et650. Since vs series is not good so i'm cross out that from my list. Maybe i will go for seasonic. Thanks for the suggestion sir.

Is the Silverstone an ET650-B, ET650-G or ET650-HG?

ET650-B

 

[bignastyid]

It's soso, better than the VS, but not as good as the G or HG

 

[Karadjgne]

With plans for a 750ti, 1030, 1050, 1050ti or even a gtx1060, you'd only need a decent 450w psu. Higher power doesn't mean better quality or a better psu. Even an older model Seasonic S or M12-II 520w would be a much better quality psu than the vast majority of psus available in your market. Another good psu would be the black/silver Corsair CXM 450W, not the older green blocky letter CXM which is a modular version of the CX available to you.

i see, but the silverstone et650-B and the seasonic m12-ii 620w almost have the same price. In my location. So which should i choose?

The Seasonic for sure. Those older S/M12-II units can take a beating, I've got a 520w M12-II powering a i5-3570k @4.3GHz and a gtx660ti @124% OC for the last 6 years and it still has had not a single issue, 3 years out of warranty.
