Reliable PSU recommendations

[treacle69]

I am planning on Crossfiring two RX 480 8gb, so I need a 750/850W reliable 80 plus PSU. I want to spend less than £90 and preferably have an effective fan. As I'm on a low budget good value is important.

 

[mcnumpty23]

just over £90 but with a 7 year warranty i still think its value for money

Seasonic is your best bet - non modular to save costs.

Super butterfly, depending on your location in the world, is also reasonable and reliable. But less common in the US.

That would be fine - EVGA employs pretty good companies to make their PSUs.
It is made by FSP, seasonic, or super flower most likely - all good makers of PSUs.

I feel bad for you guys and your tech prices 🙁

I wouldn't get a GQ , get a GS , G2 or G3.

 

[mcnumpty23]

there you go thats 2 votes for the g2

or the g3 though thats probably going to break the £100 barrier

but the psu is the most important part of the pc after all

Really? I always liked FSP power supplies as far as low cost ones went - they usually come out rated fairly well.

not saying it was a bad psu

just that the g2 is a great psu

 

[treacle69]

The GQ is the only one out of these under £100

If anyone is coming over from the states bring me some cheap components

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's a decent PSU , but DOESN'T compare to the GS , G2 or G3 offerings.

the g2 i linked was £98 on the first site i looked at so not necessarily the cheapest site

98 is definitely under 100 the way i count

£98 is the same as 100 to me haha, especially when I wasn't planning on upgrading my PSU.

I think I will go for the GQ as it is still a good PSU, thanks for the help everyone

 

[mcnumpty23]

you are welcome

I don't think the GS even exists in the UK, at least I can't find it.

Nice! Do you think the 650W will be enough to cross-fire rx 480s?
