Which PSU should I go with?

[AtomicSnipe]

There are two PSU models that I don't know which to choose from. I am sure about the wattage that I need, 650W.

I definitely know that the G3 is better but I have a concern about connectors. The G3 has one less connector and got less cables than the G2 which got me confused.

Which PSU do you think is better? Ignoring any price differences.

Thanks

Yeah I was wondering the same thing.

Thanks!

The G3 should be better, given it's a newer unit. There won't be a major difference between the two though, so if you can save some money I'd recommend it. Both are great PSUs.

There is like a $4 difference between the two in my country lol.

Do you think I should go for a P2 or is Gold just enough?

Depends on how much the P2 is. Honestly I find it a bit overkill since efficiency is efficiency, but if you're crazy for saving power, then go on ahead. Just know that you won't really see major returns until a few months down the line.

The P2 is about $18 more than the G3 in my country.

What do you think?

You might as well, although it's really up to you. I can't speak for your system's power draw, and efficiency doesn't make a HUGE difference, although the P2 could be made with a little bit higher quality components. If you want to start saving money after you buy the P2, it would depend on variables such as frequency of use, tasks at hand, etc. although you would eventually save more money with a P2 in the long run.

Just to add to the confusion. A 750 G3 is also $18 more than the 650 G3. And PSUs are best at 50% load soo... yeah....

Again, depends on the draw of your PSU. Honestly 650 should be a fine amount, and you'd get more efficiency from a P2, from what I believe.

Alright.

Thanks!
