Which PSU should I choose 850W?

[Mitchell Downes]

Hello
I am not sure on what PSU to get for my system.
I was wondering if there are any differences between these two:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017RO3DAU
http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Super-NOVA-Power-Supply/dp/B00J299ALA
And if there were any better PSUs for around the same price? It also has to be modular.
I am not going to choose lower then 850W as my whole system with 2 980Ti will use around 752W of power, according to PCPartPicker.
Full Specs
- Corsair Obsidian 450D Mid Tower Case
- Intel Core i7 6700K @4.6GHz
- EVGA Geforce GTX 980Ti (Possibly two in the future, when needed)
- Corsair H100i GTX AIO Liquid Cooler
- Dell U2414H 1080p Monitor (Possibly 2 in the future)
- 16GB (2 x 8GB) HyperX Fury 2133MHz
- Corsair CX600 PSU (Will be replacing this PSU with a better unit)
- TP Link N900
- Samsung 850 Evo SSD
- 1TB Seagate Hard Drive

Fairly new build, I am only using the CX600 because it was in my HP Desktop (Old 300w PSU blew), and thought I would be able to carry this in my new build, but have later discovered, it is not such a great PSU.

Any recommendations and help will be much appreciated.

The 850w G2 is the right choice for 980ti SLI.

I own it , perfect fit very very high quality.

Brilliant, thank you. I will go ahead and order it now!

Great choice , your welcome. 😀

Off topic:
2 GTX980Tis on SLI for only 2 1080p monitors? 2 60Hz 1080p monitors? this is a huge overkill.
I would pick better monitor for that at least e.g. PG279Q or PG348Q.....or simply any 144Hz 1080p TN monitors would be better...
You are wasting plenty of fps only with those 2 U2414H.

Are there any IPS versions available with 144Hz at a reasonable price?

BTW I won't be adding another 980Ti until I feel like I need the extra horse power, could be a year, 2 years, 4 years etc.
I might not even do it at all, I was just considering. Because by the time I might need the extra power, I may need more VRAM, or something better will be out that will be worth getting over another 980Ti.

Unfortunately, all 144Hz IPS monitors are still extremely expensive, especially those with GSync.
Ah, you at the moment only 1 GTX980Ti? for 60Hz 1080p it is still a huge overkill.
If you are limited on budget, go for 144Hz 1080 TN or 2560x1440 60Hz IPS...or spend more to get Acer XB270HU ( cheaper than PG279Q)...or if you can live without GSync MG279Q is ok, still quite expensive tho'.

Would this be recommended?
I keep the Dell U2414H, but get the VG248QE as a second monitor, so I game on the VG248QE and use the U2414H as a main monitor, since I already have it. Total cost would be around £410. Or would you recommend me selling the U2414H (Will receive around £140-£150 I think) and getting just a single 144hz IPS 1440p one for more money?
BTW I will not be doing any monitor upgrades till March earliest since I will need to get paid first, I spent a lot of money already

2x 1080p monitors is more comfortable than having only 1 1440p for work, in my opinion.
For pure gaming, a single 1440p monitor is better than 2 1080p monitors.
It depends on what you are doing and your preferences.

I have XB270HU (new) and U2412M (old), for games, I use only the newer XB270HU.
The older U2412M as the secondary monitor is still quite helpful for work.

How about a 4k Monitor?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00WUACDIU?keywords=4k%20monitor&qid=1455132724&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
Seems a reasonable price for 4K, uses PLS which apparently is 10% better then IPS when I searched online. Looks good in the pictures though.

 

[guanyu210379]

PLS or IPS, I my eyes can not tell the difference anymore.

4k is good....but..for now, you need really a lot of GPU performance for that, 2x GTX980Ti is really needed, if you want to get high fps on AAA games.
It depends on when you are trying to get the second GTX980Ti.
144Hz 4k display is not yet available, not that I know of..
And..pay attention to FreeSync..that monitor has FreeSync, you have only GSync with your GTX980Ti, you will not be able to use he FreeSync on tha monitor.
Now about 4k on 24"...Windows icons will be sh*t small...etc. I am not fond of having 4k on 24".

 

[Mitchell Downes]

How would 4K look on a 28" monitor?
What would you recommend the most, a 144hz IPS 1440p monitor or 60Hz 4K PLS monitor.
About GSync, is it worth spending a tonne of money on? Because GSync monitors seem so much more expensive then the FreeSync monitors, I know FreeSync is an AMD thing, but I didn't choose the monitor for the FreeSync, it happened to come with it.
I have found a 27" 4k monitor from LG that looks good, and is a good price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-27MU67-Monitor-3840x2160-Adjustable/dp/B015E3L5HY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455298130&sr=8-1&keywords=4k+ips+27%22

 

[guanyu210379]

Personally, I would take 4k only on 32" or above.
The optimum resolution and size for me are (16:9 and !6:10 only):
1080p/1200p = 24"
1440p = 27"
4k = 32"

If you take high resolution on small size, you will get Windows icons way too small and you can not also really tell the difference on the shaprness, unless you are really really concentrating to tell the difference.

OK Thank you for your help, sorry I didn't reply earlier, I was in Rome. I will start looking at monitors to buy in around March/April.

No problemo
