Which PSU is good?

[xarinl]

My system specs are

AMD FX 6300, 3.5GHz Stock Speed, Stock Cooler
Gigabyte 78LMT-S2PT Rev 4.1
2 x 4GB Gskill Value RAM DDR3 1333Mhz Dual Channel Mode
Zotac GTX 1060 3GB Mini
1 & 2 TB WD Purple and Blue resp.
2 x DVDRW (forgot to mention this)
Benq GW2470HM
Phillips headset.
Dell Keyboard
HP mouse
Circle 500W Raw Power PSU

I am facing reboots. So I wanna buy a 750W 80+ Gold Rated Antec PSU. Is that a good brand in terms of product quality and customer service in India? Or should I buy Corsair, Seasonic or Coolermaster?

I might upgrade to Ryzen 5 system with 16 GB DDR4 in future keeping GPU the same(next year no OC'ing). So which PSU should I buy and is 750 W enough?

PSU Tier List 2017

everything in Tier 1+2 is good
its not about brand but about series.

Depends which models, especially when talking Cooler Master supplies. Antec VPs and Corsair VS/CX and most everything Cooler Master outside the V series are lower quality. I don't believe Antec has a low quality 750W with a gold rating, so it ought to be a very good PSU. But will need more detail to say for sure.

Isokolon, Antec Edge series falls in tier 2.

Your GTX1060 needs only about 450w with a 6 pin pcie connector.
What you need is driven mostly by your graphics card.
Here is a useful chart:

To answer your question, Antec is generally a good brand but not all models.
I can't think of a Seasonic psu that is not good so I would favor them as a brand.

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

I would pay extra for gold rating for quiet primarily.
You are unlikely to recoup the price premium in electricity savings.

Before buying a new psu, I would try testing with a known good psu to see if that fixes the problem.

Reboots can be caused by ram errors, or motherboard failures.

Test your ram with memtest86+.

 

[Isokolon]

it does.
however you don't need 750W

EVGA - B3 & Grey Corsair CXM is also alright

I checked my RAM with Windows memory diagnostics, as for motherboard failures I don't know how to test for them. I suspect that my PSU is not faulty but just old(purchased in Dec 2012) and falling short in providing enough power. Also I have no access to a working PSU maybe I could have asked my one and only dealer to test it at his place but he is seriously injured and recovering.
EVGA is not available easily in my region and is more than twice the USD price.

For years we've been using the Seasonic S12 / M12 520's for this size range. They were made on Seasonic's GB Bronze platform as was the Antec's HCG (400 -620 watters) and XFX Core (450 - 55) Series. They foinally have a new entry in this prce range is likely what I'd buy today.

Whatever you looking at check a review from a reliable site like hardware secrets or jonnyguru

As for Tier Lists, I find them entirely unreliable. A unit or units can be placed in a tier based upon 1 review. So a review of a 750 model in no way can be used as a reliability / quality indicator of a 550 watt model which is likely to have been made by another OEM... most brands you know of don't actually make PSUs, they just slap a label on something thay had built by someone else.

When reading reviews, especially one dependent upon ad income, reviews that say "Good PSU for the money" .... when you see these, the emphasis should be those last 3 words. A "good PSU for the money" is OK for an office PC or one that Grandma uses to look at pics of the grandkids... but in this context, a "good PSU for the money" really has no place in a workstation, gaming or enthusiast PC. The Corsair CXM is a "good PSU for the money" ... it's much better than the older CX series ... but among the disappointments of the new line are:

Cheap Sleeve-bearing Fan
3.3V rail performance in ATR tests is disappointing
High hold-up time and Inrush current
Fan speed at light loads are high, making it noisy where com9etition is quite
Peripheral connector spacing makes installation harder than it needs to me

IS corsair vs650 good ?

One of my friend has this :
PROCIE: Intel i-5 4590
⏩ GPU: GTX 970 ASUS STRIX
⏩ RAM: 12GB HyperX DDR3
⏩ SSD: Kingston 125GB
⏩ HDD: WD Blue (1TB), WD Red (2TB)
⏩ PSU: VS650
⏩ COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper212x, Deep Cool WindBlade80

No it's the worst PSU Corsair sells.
550W would easily suffice.

650w gold power supplies cost $200 in my country, that's too much
