PSU Recommendation Sought

[Adam Spencer]

I just got a haswell haswell board/cpu but I am running with a non Haswell compatible PSU and would like to utilize haswell to its fullest (have c6/7 disabled atm). I am looking to keep the budget under $100 if possible. Current Setup:

Motherboard: Gigabyte H97-HD3
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590
GPU: AMD Sapphire R9 270X
RAM: 2x4GB 1600Mhz Kingston HyperX Blu
SSD: 128GB Samsung 840 EVO
HDD: WD 500gb
PSU: ThermalTake Litepower 700w

Also just a brand/Wattage recommendation would help a lot as it's easy enough to find compatibility and prices myself.

Rosewill Capstone 650M 650W Semi-Modular PSU.

I am currently in Australia as well. Doesn't look like the Rosewill is available anywhere near me.

In Australia? I can make you a build on pcpartpicker. What is your budget?

Hello. A Tier 2 PSU will accompany your build well. I'd say Antec/ EVGA/ SeaSonic/ Super Flower to go and anything less than 550W if you don't wish to Crossfire or 650W if you wish to Crossfire the GPU. My preferrance:

Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($109.00 @ CPL Online)
^Australian version. Price is in AUD.
Its a tier 2 Class A PSU, best to go with your current build. CF-able and very good quality, most importantly in your budget.

Hope it helps

Luka this isn't a shopping list, that's stuff I already have.
The tier list is very helpful, will look it over and scan my preferred shops for some of the PSUs.

if budget is a concern highly recommend EVGA 600B xD

Then look at MeteorsRaining suggestion. 😉

I was just wondering about Enermax and I see they are on tier2 class A, answers my question there as I see an Enermax Triathlor 650W for $83 from my preferred PC shop. Might go with that, but will look around a bit as it's too late for real shopping.

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Yes that PSU is a good choice too, no loss in going for it

Will go pick it up on Monday, thanks for the info Meteors
Then I will give my Tier3 700W PSU to my wife to replace her 450w antec lol
