One is modular the other is semi-modular. I understand modular refers to removable cables. Does semi just mean that the power supply cable is non removable and everything else is?

Also does the rebate only apply to newegg?

For PSU, this corsair 650w would be great. And it's also modular and 80+bronze certified.

this is pretty good i would say: https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Semi-Modular-CX650M-Supply-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=corsair+650&qid=1574948447&sr=8-3

I'd go with this. It's 5.00 more (unless you really care about that rebate) and it's a much more reliable psu.

Yep, as far as i know there is nothing wrong with doing that, it is essentially the primary reason for going with higher wattage from the start, so you aren't swapping out units every time you want to upgrade something else. This is the one i just installed in my HP:

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Non-Modular-CP-9020122-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550768410&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair%2Bcx650&th=1

​

I would say anything over 700w is probably overkill, 650w is probably even overkill for my use case but i figured better to be safe than sorry. If you do end up putting one in your HP just be aware of the fan location on the PSU itself so it's not right up against the top or bottom of the case trying to suck air in. I ended up needing to install mine upside down.

Do you think I would be ok with this power supply?

Corsair CX650M modular

EVGA 1050 Ti Superclocked

If it wasn't refurbished, it'd be a good deal. But since it is, no.

650W tends to be overkill these days unless you're considering an SLI or Crossfire build. At any rate, this is a better option at 650 W for sure.

Or the same thing in 650W for the same price.

Yeah, that's a very fair point. For the R9 390 however, I wouldn't want to go much below 650W. Maybe the [Corsair 650M] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W1VA) or the [SuperNova 750] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X23O/)?

Edited for automod

A quality 500 watt psu would be fine for a 1070. After some quick googling, it seems like your 7970 is fairly power hungry, that same 500w psu would be cutting it close. I'm seeing 550w as being the minimum for a 7970. I never feel good about doing the minimum, especially since you're already having power troubles. I think this 650 would be a good fit for your current build, and it would be fine for your hypothetical 1070 setup too

Alright, I currently own a Cooler Master elite v2 550w, that I bought to test if my motherboard or power supply was fried a while ago. Do you think the cables would look horrible?

Any downside to this PSU?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B72W1VA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You'll be cutting it really close then at 800. Go for a ryzen 5 2600x and an Rx 590 8GB card.

​

You can get the EVGA if you want. But having a semi-modular psu just makes it a little easier to install since you only use the cables you need. But either one is fine.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W1VA

Is it the best power supply? No. Will it do its job day in and day out without blowing up? Yes.

Plenty of wattage for almost any system, 80+ Bronze, semi-modular, decently sleeved cables. On the other hand it has pretty average 12V ripple. That can affect overclocking a little. But if you just need a PSU that will be reliable and not self-destruct, it will work just fine.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-cs650m/11.html

Unless you have a power hungry system, the 550W or 650W should work just as well and are considerably less expensive.

And I've been looking at this one
https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Semi-Modular-CX650M-Supply-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1521755789&sr=8-5&keywords=650w+corsair

(Price are CAD, not USD)

So something like this would be better?

EDIT: Actually I bought this one which does include "OVP, UVP, OCP, OPP, SCP and OTP", hope that's ok.

Yes, that's a premium model. That's a great top of the line model.

IF you want to save money though, the corsair bronze CXM series is fine:

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/

650W bronze corsair, with 5-years warranty.

Why one around $50?

Not many good options around that price for your specific build, other than during a sale or getting used/open box. And, I would advise against getting a cheap, low build quality PSU.

If you want a cheaper PSU than the EVGA one above, then maybe [get this one] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W1VA).

I would get a 500 or 650 watt power supply. Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549986753&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=650+watt+bronze+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=41h2NmpC0DL&ref=plSrch

650w Corsair power supply

My current PSU This is the PSU (Corsair 650w) that I have currently, and it has served me well. It is a 650w semi-modular Bronze rated PSU. I've also had good luck with EVGA's PSUs as well. This link is to a higher efficiency but similar wattage PSU from EVGA - This is the link

https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX550M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72W1VA?th=1
Looks to be cheaper than the G2 supernova however it is bronze compared to gold. What does that mean and is it a big deal?

For the PSU is something like this one okay? [CORSAIR CXM series CX650M 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply!] (https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX650M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72W1VA?tag=bom_tomshardware-20&ascsubtag=site:thus|tid:98081498178748228&SubscriptionId=AKIAIPWQY5MS2ASMLWOQ&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953)

And I don't plan on overclocking. I didn't know the processor already comes with a cooler, I'll just use that one.

I'm not too familiar with how fast M.2 speed is compared to the Sata SSD, but just from taking a quick look at 240gb ssd's on amazon they seem to be at the ~$90 price range. I don't mind spending an extra ~$8 in this case, but I'll keep an eye out for cheaper ones.

Thank you for the advice!

Better PSU?

Alright I finally rounded up the contenders:

Cougar GX-F PSU Series (650W) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BF97C19/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_g6GmDbAE7A7S2

Do you think the Cougar is a good brand? Its an A tier according to the tier list in the LinusTechtips forums

Hopefully im not being too bothersome to you 😬

One more question, I’m having trouble finding the cx450 on amazon. Will this fulfill the same purpose?

You need more power, 650W and a better brand, https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=CORSAIR%2BVengeance%2B650M&qid=1564359685&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1

Compatible? Yes. Recommended for an 8700k system? No.

The "Haswell" compatibility thing had to do with a change between 3rd gen and 4th gen processors and how 4th gen handled power in certain scenarios (the C7 sleep state, in particular). It's mainly to say that you shouldn't really use a PSU from earlier generations on a system 4th Gen or later (though, technically, there isn't anything that could stop you, as they have the same plugs and pinouts).

For an 8700k/1070 system, I would recommend nothing less than 600w Bronze rated, particularly if you want to overclock (which, with a k series processor, you likely do). Even then, while adequate, I would really recommend something 600w or more, and Gold rated.

The 80+ "Colour/Metal" rating on power supplies is in regards to efficiency, and with that, overall quality of the PSU (compared to other PSUs from that manufacturer). There's 80+ White, 80+ Bronze, 80+ Silver (which isn't common), 80+ Gold, 80+ Platinum and 80+ Titanium, going from lowest efficiency (and typically lowest component quality and warranty length) to highest efficiency. The one you linked is of the lowest efficiency rating

It's all about how much power a PSU draws from the wall in order to give you the power your computer needs. The extra power drawn is generally bled off as heat waste. So, the more efficient the PSU is rated, the less "extra" it needs to pull from the wall, and ultimately the less heat it generates in the process. So, while they cost more, the higher rated the PSU, the less it'll cost you on your power bill (compared to the same wattage at a lower efficiency rating), the less heat will radiate into the system, and the less the fan will need to run (which means less noise).

It can also affect overclocking, as the more efficient units will also typically supply a cleaner (more even, less spiky) power delivery to the components, which helps stability when pushing your speeds.

As a minimum I would recommend something like this EVGA or Corsair, and would personally choose something like these Gold rated EVGA or Corsair units.

I would also recommend looking up the PSUs on ca.pcpartpicker.com, as they will pull pricing from a number of different Canadian PC part retailers (including Amazon) and allow you to see the difference and pick the lowest option (though, they don't always factor in shipping costs, and it doesn't always immediately update if it's out of stock at a particular retailer).
