Which PSU should I get?

[michaelzscott6969]

I cannot decide if I should get a Bronze Certified PSU or spend the extra money to get a Gold Certified one? I'm looking for a fully modular PSU.

Bronze Certified = SeaSonic - EVO Edition 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply for $39.99

Gold Certified = Cooler Master - 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply for $64.99

The CPU of my build is a Ryzen 1600 and I am looking to overclock. Which PSU Should I go with?

The Cooler Master V650W gold is an excellent PSU, made by Seasonic.

That would be the one to get as it has all the latest technology built in.

The higher the efficiency, the less electricity if converted to heat inside your case.
Over all, a high quality power delivery is more important than efficiency (although I have a love of very efficent power supplies).

I would get the gold one between those two.

This might be useful to help you sort out which PSU.

Can't decide either:

Asus - Radeon RX 580 8GB DUAL Video Card ($295)

or

Asus - Radeon RX 580 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card ($335)

The Strix has better fans and cooler than the DUAL.

Judging from various reviews, I recommend Gigabyte - Radeon RX 580 8GB AORUS 8G instead. Both of ASUS have been reported too hot, but review amounts are limited.

Jonnyguru has a review on the cooler master psu: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=430
It says capacitor selection is poor.

If I were you, I will get this psu instead:

He listed the V650... That's a tier 1 PSU.

Not the G650M, that's Bronze and semi modular.

@ Jankerson

Cooler Master V750+ is Seasonic, V650 is Enhance. I will get G2 instead.

Ah they changed OEM's...

All of the V's used to be made by Seasonic.

Avoid tier lists, they can be very misleading.

Professional reviews have been made for the cooler master v 650: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CoolerMaster/V650/12.html

I'd suggest a Seasonic focus/Bitfenix whisper/EVGA g2 or G3/corsair rmx
