Neither. Both overpriced and not needed for your build.

Seasonic Focus+ 550W runs for £80 and is electrically superior to both of them.

So is the Super Flower Leadex II 650W for £100

u/coololly · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Its an okay PSU, but not worth 99 euros.

I'd go for this instead:

u/renihskcocffokcuf · 3 pointsr/buildapc

I'd recommend this psu.

u/A_Neaunimes · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

It's not really a good PSU for the price.

Seasonic Focus Gold 550W | 650W

EVGA G2 550W | 650W

Corsair TXM 550W | 650W

u/DuduOson · 2 pointsr/buildapc

If you can stretch your budget a little this is one of the best PSUs at that wattage: https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-550FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073GY89G5/ref=sr_1_1

(efficiency rating isn't everything -- there are garbage gold PSUs out there)

u/punkchica321 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Another question:

Is this enough power/are there enough cables for my build?

u/shakabuee23 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Eh, on second thought, you could go with your current ram selection if you wanted to. Unless you're going to overclock, I would suggest something like a 600w psu. I think 600w would be max for your build imo unless, like I mentioned before, you're going to overclock. Maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-FOCUS-Power-Supply/dp/B073GY89G5/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=seasonic%2Bpsu&qid=1568329888&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1

u/virus5877 · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you were to choose between this EVGA or this Seasonic, do you think the Seasonic is worth the $10 extra?

u/eagletrance · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you're buying a new PSU go with something that will last a long time thought multiple builds. The Seasonic focus range comes with a 10 year warranty. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-FOCUS-Power-Supply-SSR-550FX/dp/B073GY89G5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1527503315&sr=8-2&keywords=seasonic+focus

u/MileNCheese · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hmm, I read somewhere it says they can only support up till 3200mhz.
I'll check it out again.

And yea, it's 1660 Super (left out that word - these models are confusing as hell).

Seeing that this is part of the list on the link you posted, it should be fine on this setup?

u/Aseneson · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

To further expound upon this. I would recommend https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073GY89G5/ref=twister_B079NGFRRS?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

I have the 650w version and it's been solid. The Focus Plus series is really good.

u/zenthrowaway17 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Did you already buy the case?

Because if you're serious about the budget being up to 1500, you might want to invest in a high-quality PSU, something with a 10-year warranty like this. Great value to have it work for 10+ years and nice peace of mind to have a quality unit to boot.

The 1060 is a good choice for your resolution/FPS goals, but you might want to consider the used market, like /r/hardwareswap/. A gtx 970/980 can be a much better value than a new 1060.

Also, if you're not in a hurry, the r5-2600 and cheaper coffee-lake motherboards are set to release within a month or so. Not a huge deal, since you're only aiming for 60fps, but still nice to have for longevity's sake.

The basic outline of the build is good though.

u/KantoIII · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hey all. I'm replacing my PSU, a Corsair CX650M, as the fan has started to make a lot of noise. I'm returning it and abandoning Corsair altogether (this is my second Corsair PSU that has had fan issues on this build). I'm thinking of getting a seasonic PSU but am torn between quality/price. Someone in a thread recommended the Seasonic FOCUS 550. I like it, but am wondering if it is so much the better than the M12II which would be a full $45 less if we include the rebate. I'm not necessarily need THE BEST psu out there, just one that will be reliable and serve my needs without the fan making a ton of noise.

Thoughts? My build is a r5 1600 with a GTX 970 for the time being.

I have a similar build but a 3600 and a RX570 and it uses a 550W power supply: Seasonic

u/exodus1028 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I'm using this one
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-550FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073GY89G5

its great and frequently on sale here (sniped it for 60 bucks few months ago)

u/Loading1LA · 1 pointr/buildapc

80+ Gold, fully or semi modular. spend between 70-90. I wouldnt cheap out on a PSU. For example this is a very solid one

u/zomgtruth · 1 pointr/techsupport

OK so the cheapest quality PSU Id go with is this:

Seasonic Focus+ 550

The next step up would be this:
[XFX XTR 650w](
https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B00I5HF0KU/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new)
but its not sold by amazon,its a 3rd party seller and I think with shipping cost it might end up more expensive than the next choice PSU which brings us to this:

XFX XTR 750W


All of these PSUs are Seasonic OEM,Gold rated for efficiency,full Japanese capacitors fully modular, great price/performance ratio.

u/KingJanIIISobieski · 1 pointr/pcparts

Nice great monitor.

I'd go for slightly cheaper case. Either the Meshify C is a great option or the Cooler Master Masterbox if you wanna stick with the RGB.


I'd go a little higher end on the PSU. The Seasonic Focus Plus is a great tier 1 PSU and fully modular but if you don't want to spend more then go for a Corsair CX series which is semi modular at least. Or if you wanna maintain the RGB theme you could go with this Thermaltake PSU.

Double your SSD capacity and get a higher tier one for only a few bucks more with the WD Blue.. Or go with a M.2 form factor one since your MOBO has a slot for it.

Just some ideas. CPU and GPU are good combo, as is the RAM.

u/HostilePasta · 1 pointr/buildapc

I would get this. Fairly cheap for what it is, and it will be plenty for your system.

As for the PSU, I'd look at this.

There are cheaper options for the PSU, if you need that let me know.

u/kester76a · 1 pointr/buildapc

> Depends on how far you want to look back in history. If we looked back at computers from the 80s then yeah you'd be right. But my HP pavilion from 1999 had a 300w PSU. That was 20 years ago. Most common spec consumer desktops STILL use a 300w power supply.

That's mostly office machine setups with normally a single drive or HDD/DVD combo and stock cooling. These type of PCs are limited on their upgrade path.

Here's a case in point

Seasonic FOCUS Plus Gold 550W £73.98
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-FOCUS-Power-Supply-SSR-550FX/dp/B073GY89G5/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=focus+seasonic&qid=1564069812&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Seasonic FOCUS Plus Gold 750W £85.47
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-FOCUS-Power-Supply-SSR-750FX/dp/B073GWKDVM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=focus+seasonic&qid=1564069985&s=gateway&sr=8-1

£11.49 between the two PSUs but 200W difference, it's pretty much the price of a fan.

Ok here's one more

Riotoro Enigma G2 850W ATX Power Supply £85.52
https://www.ebuyer.com/809567-riotoro-enigma-g2-850w-atx-power-supply-pr-gp0850-fmg2-uk?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51482424299&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKCAjwpuXpBRAAEiwAyRRPgZzVZ2haGVnZTMujtO-HFZLacV39K0TOEHlVxPBaSL6iJHkGwMUmOxoCGc4QAvD_BwE

Looks very similar to the Seasonic Focus Plus could it be a scam ?
https://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/riotoro-enigma-850w-g2-power-supply-review/
No it's pretty much the same PSU.

So for £11ish I can buy a 850W PSU vs a 550W PSU.

Deep down I can understand if it was a £40 difference but at £11 I don't see an issue with it. I might decide I want to build a rig with 20 HDDs or fit a monitor in it as a side panel.

These PSUs even function great as a bench power supply so it's not wasted money.

u/MakiiZushii · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

Generally speaking the problem is going up from US/JP 110V to other countries' 240V and frying whatever electronics you plug in, not the other way around. If your power supply is rated for 100-240V, it should work. For example, I bought a Gameboy charger while in Europe and it worked when I got back to the states. Power supplies last about 10 years I think (don't quote me on that) so maybe it has just reached end of life?

In the case you have to buy a new one, I do know that FSP is the PSU OEM for several companies and they have some decently affordable 80+ Gold plus ones which have gotten good reviews, like the FSP Hydro for $80. Alternatively Seasonic has their Focus 550W 80+ Gold for for $90, and Seasonic is the best brand out there, supposing your PC uses low enough power that a 550W would support it. You could also consider a renewed 750W 80+ Gold Corsair RMx for $70 if you don't mind the fact it's not new and the 7-year warrantly may not apply.

u/ASN3AKYFATPANDA · -1 pointsr/pcmasterrace

If you want to get the parts cheaper, try ebay for second hand parts. They won't all be auction based so you can just buy them straight away. Especially the CPU because that's a big part of the price.

Windows 10 can be gotten for about $20 so just look into that.

Here's a great PSU I'd reccomend for a better and longer lasting option. It's bound to last for years; Seasonic FOCUS Plus Gold 550W (80+Gold, ATX 12V) PSU/Power Supply , SSR-550FX - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073GY89G5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Bcf3CbDYC237A
