You'll need a 650-750watt high quality power supply.

EVGA Supernova G2, Thermaltake Toughpower, XFX Pro series, Seasonic X series, are all Tier 1 PSUs.

Or you could get a Tier 2.

Here's the list:

You're in the Netherlands, right?

What;s your budget?

Even a quality 550-600W would give you enough headroom for overclocking etc.
For quality, take a look here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Not an exhaustive list (either in PSU quantity, nor 100% of reasons that make up quality vs poor quality), but it'll give you an idea.

For the best quality vs price option I can find at a glance, I'd recommend this:
https://www.alternate.nl/XFX/PRO550W-Core-Edition-550-Watt-voeding/html/product/838244?lk=9530

Alternatively:
https://www.alternate.nl/XFX/TS-Gold-Series-550W-550-Watt-voeding/html/product/1159165?lk=9530

Or:
https://www.alternate.nl/Antec/High-Current-Gamer-HCG-620-620-Watt-voeding/html/product/763736?lk=9530

All quality units. XFX units are made by SeaSonic, with the Antec HCG either Delta or SeaSonic (can't tell if it's a modular unit or not).

The OP from their prior thread:

I live in Holland

US links probably are not going to help too much...

The OP from their prior thread:

That's something he should be telling us, though...

 

[Barty1884]

Wasn't aiming that at you specifically Turkey, just in general.

I agree the OP should give us the information in this thread, but the information is available in the prior thread.

They may well be willing to buy/ship from the US, I don't know otherwise - just making the assumption (and why I said "probably are not going to help".

Barty thank you for you answer I did prefer to have a 750 watt power supply that will not explode because apparently a 1100 watt 80+ gold is not enough this time 🙁. Sorry for being so irritated my psu just exploded 2 hours ago and I indeed I live in the Netherlands. And if it can I did prefer a 750 watt psu so that I have some headroom for in the future and overclocking... And Barty thank you for helping me!

 

[NeedyHelpGuy]

Nvm what I just said 600 Watt will be fine what is the best brand? I did like to keep it under 100 euros

 

[Barty1884]

Wattage isn't everything, neither is efficiency - you want quality, first & foremost (something you didn't have with your previous PSU).

Any of the three options I listed will work for you. Even the 550W options will be fine, but the Antec HCG is a 620W.
https://www.alternate.nl/Antec/High-Current-Gamer-HCG-620-620-Watt-voeding/html/product/763736?lk=9530

Pricing structure seems to be interesting in the Netherlands, but those three options I gave are all under 90EUR.

'Brand', unfortunately, is too simplistic. Many brands (Corsair, EVGA etc) have "good" options, but also some pretty "poor" options too (not outright junk, but not very good).

SeaSonic is about the only 'brand' you can say 100% that their PSUs are all good quality - by extension, XFX also, as their PSUs are made by SeaSonic.

The XFX PRO 650W is 78EUR

The XFX TS 650 (Gold) is 85EUR
