Question XFX 750W Platinum or Antec HCP 850W gold for build with RTX 3080?

[Nachmanowicz]

Hi guys, I finally bought a new PC, was still using a z97 board with an i5 4690k which I replaced last year with a i7 5775c cause it was the coolest CPU I could find that was compatible with the board.

Now I bought a Ryzen 5 5600 with a 6500XT, but my old computer already had a 1080ti so I wont use the 6500xt. I bought a 3080 that hopefuly will arrive around thursday. My old computer has this XFX 750W PSU which is amazing. I think its one of the Seasonic manufactured XFX PSUs. But I also have the Antec HCP 850W sitting on my closet. So, which one of the two PSUs should I install in my new PC?

Mobo : I dont know, all I know is that its mini ATX and its B450
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
Cooler: Gamdias Water Cooler 240mm
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200 CL16 (I wanna buy two more sticks)
Storage: 1TB Crucial SSD, 480GB Sandisk, 2tb WD Green HDD
PSU: TBD
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3080

With a 5600 the 750w should be fine

Since the XFX and Antec are Seasonic units they probably shut down with a 3080. You just have to give it a try on both units.

Which XFX 750w is it exactly?

And for the Antec you mean HCG? Bronze or Gold and exact model number?

 

[Nachmanowicz]

For now I can't see the exact model. since the PSU is still mounted on my PC. I'll probably switch PSUs in 2 days then I can tell you exactly.
From looking at it from the side I can tell you it is XFX PRO750W XXX edition Semi modular.

For the Antec it is a High Current Pro Gold. It seems like the model is just HCP-850.

XFX PRO750W XXX edition

Seasonic S12II double forward + DC-DC under the hood. A big no for a 3080.

HCP-850

You could give it a try. Delta platform with LLC + DC-DC inside, decent quality but over 10 years old. Better to replace it id you have the budget.

I have the budget but I live in Brazil. Things are HELLA expensive here. Like, it's not even funny.

I mean, regular midrange PC stuff is not expensive. But if you move to more enthusiast parts the price soars.
