[SOLVED] psu quality

[Ex0rc1st]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about building a new pc (this would be my second pc), and I'm wondering if I would have to buy a new psu or my current one would be decent for my build:
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/legacy-products/power/b700ver2/

cpu is i7 9700k
gpu is gtx 1660 super
cpu cooler might be bequiet dark rock pro 4 (not fix, it might not fit in my case)

sorry for any mistakes, i'm still a noob

No. You don't want to use that PSU in a new build. Get yourself a good quality 650 watt model. Use this list as a reference. Try to choose from tier A or B but no lower than tier C.

A new Comet Lake CPU would be a better choice than a 9700K. Check out the new Intel i7-10700k.

Alright. i will check out that list.
Also can you tell me why a 10700k would be a better choice?

The 9700k is limited to 8 threads. The 10700k can use 16 threads and has a higher base clock/turbo speed and it has higher single core performance. It's just a better CPU. Why would you want to use a 2 year old platform?

Well the only thing keeping me from buying that is that the 9700k is already expensive in my opinion, and the 10700k is even more expensive, I don't want to spend too much.
Anyways, what do you think about this PSU? https://www.silentiumpc.com/en/product/supremo-fm2-gold-750w/
It's supposed to be A tier, and it's relatively cheap, but I haven't heard much from this manufacturer and I haven't seen many reviews about it

Significantly better.

Are you in a Eastern EU country or something?

So do you think this psu would be a good choice, or could you recommend me other ones (preferably in the same price range)?

Yeah. Silentium is pretty good. I think they have good people working on their products because they often avoid doing crappy things.

Cool, thanks for the answer, then I think I'll get a silentium
